[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no guarantee your kid will get into an HGC or MS magnet, which tend to be housed in the lower performing clusters.

The curriculum is the same across the board.  How it's implemented, however, differs depending upon instructionally focused the principal and his/her crew are.

So even if you get into a "better" cluster, most of those kids do well b/c they have strong family support. [/quote]

This is very true - there is absolutely no guarantee your child will get into an HGC or MS magnet (our child's teachers kept saying "he should go to the HGC, and our child did very well in school and very well on the test - but I guess not quite well enough - and didnt get in) --- these programs are really for only the very, very top scoring kids like (1-5 %). So if your child is in the 6-10%-ish range, well…then….
You may want to look at the home school that you will be left with and pick with that in mind (as again, there is no guarantee). [/quote]

He scored above the median of accepted students and didn't get in?[/quote]
