[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Magnet schools, by definition, pull from the distict as a whole across normal school boundaries.  No need to have competitive/ application admissions. Just families who opt in for a specialized program. This is what Logan Montessori and now SWS are. Magnet schools.  I would love to see the same thing at middle school level. Read definiion of magnet school here:

What would be the point of another mediocre lottery admissions middle school?  You can head to Washington Latin for that. and soon to DCI.   A test-in middle school for advanced kids would add something to the menu of public school offerings.   Unlike a 'specialized program" admitting random kids, many of whom would be poorly prepared, in need of remediation and IN CLASS with those who are ahead of the curve, a true magnet would serve the needs of the city's growing upper-middle-class population and the most able poor kids.   With more decent elementary schools like the reinvented SWS coming along all the time, demand for a test-in DCPS middle schoolp program will steadily increase.
