[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have it on good authority that the peer groups in the magnets this year are the strongest ever largely because of universal screening. In the past the only kids in the program were the ones whose parents recommended them and that bar was much lower.[/quote] This is baseless with the exception of the universal screening info. Yes, the universal screening may identify more highly qualified students, but the regional requirements (peer group etc) may eliminate more highly qualified students. I know one MS magnet seemed frustrated & concerned w/ the new admissions process. We'll see how it goes this year and how the students get on.[/quote] Speaking for my Magnet, there was concern last spring and over the summer. Then the students showed up two weeks ago and, in getting to know them a bit, we all relaxed. [/quote]
