[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure why how many families turn down is a benchmark here.  Isn’t the question whether the program is good?  It seems families who attend uniformly say “it is worth your while” and families that do not attend say “it isn’t worth your while but we didn’t actually test the results”.  I expect families who attended would be a better judge of the actual results while families that did not attend have a vested interest in believing it is the same as they would get in their home school.

Unless of course you are just trying to keep up with the Joneses.  Then by all means what families rejected it think should be a primary criteria.

Our DD that is now at a “W” HS attended the magnet.  Our DS who was one year behind stayed at our local middle school.  There was literally no comparison of the academic rigor and skill development between them.  Our 9th grade W HS curriculum seems on par with the 6th grade expectations at Eastern.  I wish I could say I was kidding.  Objectively I did think 6th grade at Eastern was very hard, but it also say something about the non-magnet middle schools.[/quote]

The reason the discussion of how many kids turn it down is pertinent is because folks are trying to gauge how strong their kids chances might be if they are placed in the pool but not offered a place initially.[/quote]
