we live 90 minutes in traffic from a HS magnet; it's off the table for us and most of our school pyramid. [/quote]

But your kid at Westbrook would go east in the morning while the traffic goes west, and west in the afternoon while the traffic goes east, so the amount of time it takes in traffic isn't really relevant.

My kid (and most kids at Westbrook) walks to school, and will walk to Westland.  I'm not interested in him sitting on a bus.  It's one of the reasons we bought in this area.

We love Westbrook.  Of course, we came from DC, so our calculus for what constitutes a "not good" school is slightly different than many people in Montgomery County who agonize over minute differences in test scores.  [/quote]

And that's fine, but "I'm not sending my kid to a magnet because I prefer for him to walk to school" would be meaningfully different from "I'm not sending my kid to a magnet because it's 90 minutes on the bus in traffic" even if it did actually take 90 minutes on the bus.[/quote]

we didn't send our kids to them because of social reasons. [/quote]
