[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the scores are sent they show you both your child's score and the mean for each of the testing areas.

I think it's just very competitive and some very smart kids get turned away.

I would just supplement and try again for a magnet in 6th.  The other thing you could try is to see if there is a waitlist because some kids do drop out.  We got accepted, but are on the fence because our child LOVES her school and friends.[/quote]

If she got in, she should go.  Really.[/quote]

Thanks.  We're torn.  At her current school she is totally at ease and happy.  I think that has value.  But I do want her to grow and have peers that would challenge her, just not sure if she needs them at this time.[/quote]

We are also considering not sending our child to the HGC.  There is value to friendships and happiness.  Our child also participates in various sports teams with classmates as well and if we switch schools that may no longer be possible (wouldn't be able to get her there due to the practice and our work schedules).
