[quote=Anonymous]No, CAP isn't a "magnet" defined as a county-wide program. But as a practical matter, it's easy to see why some are confused. If you live downcounty, in Silver Spring for example, then your 8th grade kid can apply to three "application" programs. Two of these (Blair math/science and RM IB) are "magnets" in the strict sense, while CAP is only available to downcounty kids. But from your kid's perspective, and maybe your own perspective: your kid takes the same Pearson test, on the same day, for all three programs (plus an extra essay on test day for CAP). And he writes an essay about why he wants to be in the CAP program exactly in the same way that he writes an essay about why he wants to be in the science magnet. So from the user's end, they are pretty indistinguishable....[/quote]
