[quote=Anonymous]If a test-in IBD program at Eastern were restricted to Ward 6 residents it wouldn't be nearly as strong as if the test-in catchment area comprised all wards. In MoCo, county-wide test-in programs give preferential treatment in admissions to qualified local residents living with a few miles of a school using set asides (e.g. 25-50% of spots to local residents). It's a model that's worked very well for MoCo at schools roughly on a par with Eastern academically before magnets were established. High fliers from around the county eagerly commute as much as an hour to attend magnets. Those who live far afield need to be high-performing than those living nearby to have a shot of being admitted. The arrangement is a akin to applying to a flagship state university from out of state. I can't see DCPS following suit, but then who knows, DC is full of surprises. [/quote]
