[quote=Anonymous]We are thinking of applying our kindergartner for the magnet at Takoma park elementary 1-2 grade program. I have looked through the power point on their website, and plan on attending the parent info meeting coming up. The question I have is that if there is such a small ratio of out-of-area kids brought there and mixed with in-boundary kids, what really makes it different than a regular classroom where kids are also grouped according to their skill? I know its a magnet for certain areas, not a HGC, but it just doesn't make much sense. I'm justing trying to think if the extra time driving there, application process, and removing my kid from their current social setting is worth any possible improvement. Any comments with experience there or knowledge about their program would be appreciated. Thanks! [/quote]
