[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Low income students can't travel far. They have jobs and sibling care responsibilities. So if you put magnets in the high income schools, you basically siphon off highest resourced high performing students from the low income schools. The kids that are left have a very small cohort and the school can no longer sustain advanced coursework. It is truly better not to have a magnet at all
High income students already have advanced classes at their home schools.

This. No more all county magnets. Focus resources on all the home schools so all kids have access to challenging course. And be ok that sometimes it's 10 kids in a hard class in some schools. [/quote]

This. If you want everything to be fair, cut the magnets out and have advanced classes in every school where the kids who meet the criteria go into.

That is what FCPS does. And for the uber smart have one school like TJ where participating school systems can get into.

The school divisions currently participating in TJHSST are:
Arlington County
Fairfax County (includes City of Fairfax)
Falls Church City
Loudoun County
Prince William County[/quote]
