[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard from other parents that kids that come from Whitman/Churchill/ BCC/Wooten are less likely to get into the magnet program than kids from less privileged areas. I’m not sure if this is just rumor or an actual policy meant to help diversity. Just wondering if there had been any public discussions if this by MoCo school administrators. Thanks. [/quote] I would say that less likely (if that is accurate) would be because more students from those areas apply than any other areas. Parents who seek out W schools are likely parents who push kids towards magnet programs. So, if lower admission rate is the case (or if it just feels like it), it is likely more related to more competition from the area than from any regional discrimination. [/quote]
