[quote=Anonymous]With more important factors such as commute, home price, neighborhood feel, and overall school cluster quality, I wouldn't personally worry about distance from home school to a potential elementary magnet. As others have pointed out, your child may not get in, and if she does, the program is only two years. FWIW, my child goes to a HGC. Buses serve all the kids, in our case picking up at our home (zoned) elementary school. We're far away from the center relative to many of the other kids, so my child has a longish bus ride (30-40 minutes) but enjoys the ride. If our child had not gotten into the HGC (or had chosen not to attend), we felt comfortable with remaining at our zoned elementary school, which we liked very much. [/quote]
