[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sws has become what is known as a magnet school ( no neighborhood boundary, drawing from district as a whole based on special interest/curriculum).  Logan Montessori is also a magnet school.  We also have high schools ( some with nominal applications ) that act as magnet schools. I.e. nobody has geographic right of entry.  What I find baffling is that after multiple proposals and efforts, DCPS has refused to implement a magnet school at the middle school level. This is arguably when it could most impact and keep families invested in the system.

So DCPS embraces magnets for ages 3 to 10 and 14 to 18 but rejects them for ages 11-13.  What could be the reasoning here?[/quote]

But SWS does seem to have boundaries, so how is it a magnet school? If it is for the littlest kids, how can it really be a magnet since there is no way to distinguish a gifted kid/kid with special talents this young. It seems that it either has to be a neighborhood school or it has to be a pure lottery school (and then why isn't it a charter?) [/quote]
