[quote=Anonymous]Older child went from good HGC to average to weak local ms and had to find own challenges for 3 years. Experienced limited level of school academic challenge and cruised thru - mostly challenging self to achieve. We as parent had to push him because school and peers did not. Got into HS magnet so after a bit of catch up 1st semester is doing well and well motivated again by peers and school. So basically a dip in quality in MS. Younger child went from HGC to ms magnet along with many peers. HGC to ms magnet meant smoother transition due to similarly challenging academics. Teachers and peer groups make a big difference. Takeaway is: ms magnet is good option to have for higher performing kids. if local ms is performing well less of a issue but mediocre local ms may mean a dip in child's academic challenge. [/quote]
