[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am not sure why people seem to be being willfully obtuse about your question.  I suspect that the magnets developed as they did so that the magnet kids would necessarily have a significant number of classes with the home school kids.  People think that is beneficial academically at least for the home school kids, and socially perhaps for everyone. It might have been a political compromise to get magnets at all.

RMIB is a great program, but does not address the needs of a highly-able math student.  So, it doesn't really cover kids who are truly "good all around."[/quote]

Just curious, what do you think the best public school option is for that type of kid? Blair SMAC leaves the kid in history and English classes with everyone else (with many of the top English/history kids in the home school siphoned off to the CAP program), while RMIB has all the magnet kids together for all the major classes, albeit with not the same level of STEM classes offered as at Blair SMAC.  Do you have some advice you can share?[/quote]
