[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]test in magnet[/quote] Help me understand why this term is a problem. Magnet schools, by definition, draw from across a school district over traditional attendance boundaries. Some have entrance requirements/exams, others don’t. Aren’t some of the DCPS high schools that use an exam to determine entrance rightly called a test in magnet school? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_school[/quote] They are selective, application schools but admission isn't based solely on test results and GPA, there are also subjective factors such as an interview. At "true" magnet schools only test scores, and sometimes grades, are considered. [/quote]
