[quote=Anonymous]USN&WR has a separate ranking for magnet schools but defines magnet schools as "public high schools that offer specialized courses, often designed around a theme." So TJ counts as a magnet school but Walls and Banneker do not--even though DCPS explicitly refer to Walls and Banneker as "magnet" schools. Moreover, USNWR just lumps together selective and non-selective high schools. So, they are comparing Stuyvesant in NYC (which only 2-3% of applicants a year) or Walls (which also only accepts a small fraction of students, even though it has a much different admissions rubric than Stuyvesant and other NYC magnets) to schools which accept 100% of kids who lives in bounds or 100% of those who scores highly enough in a lottery. So, it is not really a fair comparison. [/quote]
