[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do magnet kids have opportunities to make connections with kids outside the magnet? [/quote] They can in ECs - sports and music especially. During the first couple of years, the magnet students tend to take classes in a cohort, so they might not have class with non-magnet students except for electives. In junior and senior years, there will be a few non-magnet kids in magnet classes. Many of the classes are open to anyone who has completed certain AP classes, and non-magnet students take advantage of that opportunity. Also, as their schedules open up for electives, students can meet non-magnet students through classes. My magnet kid didn't connect with a lot of non-magnet kids because they filled their schedule with magnet classes and did the top orchestra, which had a lot of magnet kids in it and chose STEM-related clubs, which tend to be magnet kids A child who wants to could have more connections outside of the magnet.
