[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child entering 4th. Discussion beginning about who is going to have their kid apply to which magnet middle school. I'm just frustrated that there aren't enough resources to go around in the county so that only 1 kid in 10 can be accepted and get the opportunity to go to the magnets. Public services in MoCo always leave me feeling like there are too many people fighting for too few scraps. [/quote] 1in 10? Try 1 in 100[/quote] Do you know the actual statistics for kids why *attempt* to get into a magnet program vs. those accepted? [/quote] NP - I don't have it but it's more likely 1 in 10 or less. Even HS ratio is less than 1 in 10. [/quote] Yes. When DS was testing for the TPMS math/science magnet a few years ago, there were roughly 500-600 kids (we were told) applying for 100 spots. And, no, he was not one of those 100 selected.[/quote]
