[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those worried about the magnets being watered down, aren't there many qualified kids who don't quite make the cut? Would it be so bad if, for example, the HGCs served the top 7% of kids in the county rather than the top 3%? Honestly, I think the best solution here is to keep the HGCs as they are, but to make sure that ALL schools have acceleration available for the kids in that 90 - 97% range. That would sweep up a lot of URMs as well as middle class white kids who are not "highly gifted" but who can handle more acceleration than is currently provided. [/quote] I'd rather see each school have a pull-out program (within the school) that serves the top 15%. [/quote]
