[quote=Anonymous]At our W school over the past few years years a couple to 4 kids have turned it down and in some years they all went. The commute is an issue. We're one of the first pick ups on the bus route and it takes over an hour. Sometimes parents are able to arrange carpools but it's not as convenient for parents who work or have siblings at our neighborhood school. I think at our school having a peer group is a big issue and if one kid who is friends with the other kids who got in turns it down it seems more likely others might turn it down as well. Also practically no one from our neighborhood goes to TPMS or Blair so I think that figure in to the decision. If you expect your child to continue to our neighborhood MS and HS you might be more reluctant to pull your kid out for just two years for an elementary magnet.[/quote]
