[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one cares about magnet high schools. People really care about getting a promised HS. Every vote counts in local elections because the turnout is so low. [/quote] People care about magnets more than you seem to think. The only people who care about the promised hs live within 2 miles of the promised hs. The vast majority of voters do not care. [/quote] Magnets are not popular in FCPS. Look at the Bailey's and Hunter Woods magnets, the Edison Global STEM magnet, and it remains to be seen what the Lewis Leadership program will draw. Those are relatively unknown and small programs. Overall the evidence shows it is not magnets themselves that are popular, otherwise we would have seen more demand for that type of programming throughout FCPS. What is popular is a highly selective program like TJ that creates a sense of prestige, and I'm doubtful that KAA would be allowed to become TJ 2.0.[/quote]
