The 5% are not being penalized.  The school district had to choose somewhere to house these programs and they chose a location that made sense for the county as a whole, not these particular children, but the good overall.  There is nothing mean spirited about the location.  Magnet schools throughout the country are placed in schools that are not the richest in the district to improve the schools that house them.

Ha ha ha. They choose a location that made sense... For them!  For juicing their test scores of suboptimal host schools, or as you say " improve the schools that house them".   If they made the host school less inconvenient they'd suffer from high uptake and then serve an even smaller percentage of gifted students than they currently do. Then the cat would really be out of the bag on what a tiny HGC magnet program mcps is running (in absentee and relative terms), and how low a priority it is, esp versus fairfax' G&T programs, right across the river...[/quote]
