[quote=Anonymous]I had one child attend 8-9 years ago under the former principal, and they mixed specials and “Genius Hour” (Focused Instructional Time) and lunch/recess. Only core classes were with the Center kids. This made for a nice transition for my child as CCES was her home school and her friends were non magnet CCES. However, socially it was hard, as the Center and non Center kids didn’t mix much. When another child attended, it was right after the pandemic and the Walter Johnson cluster had been added (WJ, Whitman, BCC - I doubt local norming makes much of a difference in this Center) so they had to separated Center kids for lunch/recess and specials were separated. However, my child socialized with more non magnet CCES students because that year many CCES students got seats into the Center. That was simply because families didn’t want to change schools during the pandemic, but it turned to be really nice for the Center because a lot of the kids were local so my child would meet more CCES kids througj the local Center kids.  I felt the school was more cohesive. I think they should allocate seats for the home school, the same way they do for the middle school and high school magnets.[/quote]
