[quote=Anonymous]As the previous posters relay, yes kids from Eastern do get into magnet HS. However, from our experience with our son, who had a few Bs, the grading at Eastern did affect his chances at the more competitive magnet HS. He learned a lot at Eastern, but now finds high school very boring compared to Eastern. I don’t know the black box of decision-making that goes on for selection to the Blair magnets and RMIB but I can tell you they don’t take into account that the kid is coming from Eastern where grading and expectations are very different from other MS. The few Bs were the only thing different from the rest of his cohort. So yes, going to Eastern harmed our kid for high school, he would have been better off going to home MS to get into a competitive magnet HS. [/quote]
