[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that the magnet program is significantly less robust than it was even 5 years ago, and that most of the opportunities given to the magnet kids are now give to all kids in the school. From observation, it appears that living in-zone for TPES gives one a huge advantage in getting into the program. The TPES kids in the magnet program are smart and driven, but they aren't all "gifted" in the classical sense of the word. They are well-coached and high achieving kids, like you will find anywhere with high parental education and involvement. On the other hand, the 10-15 kids taken from other parts of the county appear to be more "gifted" in the sense that they require different types of engagement. At any rate, I wouldn't sweat it either way. The real question is whether you want to do compacted math starting in 3rd. [/quote]
