[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on what they have talked aboiut in Board meetings, I don't think this is just about magnet programs. It's also about non-magnets housed in local schools. For example, WJ has APEX, B-CC has IB, there are others as well. These are not open to students outside the school.[/quote] WJ Apex only has three cohorted classes - Honors English 9 and 10 and Honors Bio. (Which is nice at an 3,000 student school.) Otherwise, the program now just requires additional APs (the evening seminar and required specific tracks disappeared a few years ago). I can’t see moving to WJ for this program unless you just prefer WJ to your home school. [/quote] That's because they ruined it 4-5 years ago by allowing everyone in. It used to be a test-in program, and now it's open to all with 3.x GPA The cohort used to be of the top students, now it's not. The HS class of 2023 was the last cohort of test in students[/quote]
