MCAP is not relevant. If your child has all As and scores above the 99th percentile in 7th grade spring and 8th grade fall MAPs they might have a shot. Also need to be taking geometry in 8th for stem magnets and aids some enthusiasm for learning and proven interest in the subject in the day and prompts.[/quote]

I don't think geometry is a requirement. Blair has magnet geometry as an option, but I would imagine there aren't many kids in that boat.

+1.  About 1/4 of the magnet kids take geometry in 9th.[/quote]

That makes no sense to give the slots to those kids.  [/quote]

And it doesn't make sense that a student with high enough MAP-M scores to get into the magnet wouldn't already be in the standard accelerated pathway which has them taking geometry in 8th grade.

Some families purposely [b]slow things down in MS to ensure a stronger foundation.[/b] Particularly when they can take magnet Geometry in HS [b]or over the summer.[/b]  [/quote]

Think about what you are saying.  That ruins the Geometry foundation. [/quote]
