[quote=Anonymous]I suspect that not all magnets have the same impact on demographics. For example, the RCF spanish immersion program is probably vulnerable to termination or relocation given how it operates. Many of the students who attend are coming from schools that have higher FARMS etc. than RCF, and the only reason they applied to the magnet was to avoid attending a relatively high poverty neighborhood school. This leaves the neighborhood schools with fewer middle class students than they would otherwise have, thus exacerbating the demographic imbalances that exist between schools. Does RCF need a magnet to lift it up or level the playing field in terms of test scores and demographics? I suspect if you look around you'll find lots of schools that have a more genuine claim to needing a program of that sort to balance the numbers. [/quote]
