[quote=Anonymous]I was told last night the number of kids applying to the public middle school magnet program (took screening exam last Saturday) is now over 800 kids up from 500 kids 3 years ago when my first child took the test an enter the middle school magnet at TPMS. Therefore, 100 invites out of 800 instead of 100 out of 500 three years ago. Many of these kids are from the 7 HGC centers (50 students per HGC) and many ambitious children and families who failed to get into the HGC when they were in the 3rd grade. Therefore, the academic bar contiues to rise. I suspect the present economy has diverted still others that may have considered private school over the last 2 to 3 years to try for entrance to the public magnet schools. I suspect when final decisions are made this year it will result in one of the most highly capable classes ever...in terms of intellectual and academic power and accomplishment.[/quote]
