[quote=Anonymous]Yes, because those middle schools don't appeal to most in-boundary parents in their current incarnation. Parents can't be ordered to embrace a program mainly serving poor kids; they must be coaxed. Incentivize them to come with a test-in GT program at one of these schools, with preferential treatment in admissions to local families, and watch the floodgates open. That's what MoCo did in the 80s at a couple of it's low-performing middle schools on the Eastern side of the county and it worked a charm.[/quote]
