[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But SWS does seem to have boundaries, so how is it a magnet school? [b]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.[/b] 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] Why not when NYC tests 4 and 5 year olds seeking to enter gifted kindergarten programs system wide? Closer to home, some suburban school districts in this metro area start gifted programs in 1st or 2nd grade (2nd seems to be the standard). In theory, SWS or any other DCPS school could have a general lottery track for pres-k or 1st, then a regular track and a test-in gifted track for grades 2+. Thousands of public elementary schools around the country have two tracks from 2nd grade - my nieces attend one in FL. [/quote]
