[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that the magnet means almost nothing for in boundary kids. If you test in from out of bounds, you get the accelerated instruction and junior great books curriculum, etc... If you are in bounds then your child, theoretically, gets what he or she needs regardless of their label. There are no classrooms organized by magnet or not, but reading groups are leveled and math is too. There are a few other programs the kids may do. It's really nothing to worry about unless you're out of the boundary and want it. It just runs like a school for mostly very bright kids. [/quote] This is correct. Parent of 2 at TPES.[/quote] I did a tour at TPES, and that sounds like what the assistant principal described to us. All the kids get leveled math and reading, and the advantage for a gifted kid at TPES is that he/she won't be the only one in the really high math group or really high reading group.[/quote]
