[quote=Anonymous]Because it took you until the middle of the 5th page to write these two paragraphs that finally do minimally support your case.

Link for the numbers?

"Why are you not reading the whole thread and asking this question?

The 25/30 seats from JWMS is not the issue. RM is admitting another 40/50 kids in 11th grade to the magnet program. They used to admitted through another school wide application process. This second path was only advertised to the RM-cluster parents. In the last 3/4 years, the application process has been watered down to admit basically any student who wish to be in the magnet IB program.

In addition, 2 years back the 25/30 JWMS entry number was changed to about 50 or so (starting class size at 154), to give RM cluster kids enough preparation to succeed in IB DP. What parents have come to learn is that the IBDP class size in 11th grade is 192. So, in that class an additional 38/40 RM students (without qualification vetting application process) were added in 11th grade. Does this look like an application based academically advanced program anymore?"[/quote]
