[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids (and families) should not make a decision on whether to attend a magnet solely on whether they think it will get them into an ivy or any other selective school.  You should choose magnet if you want your kid to learn the material, be with a like-minded cohort, and if you want them to have a magnet high school experience.  Attending a magnet is not a free ticket to college. [/quote]
OP here.  I completely agree but just wanted to make people aware of this.  I see many magnet parents surprised with this come senior year.  [/quote]

It’s the same with all the parents in the fancy Bethesda districts. A smart  kids college prospects are hurt going someplace where lots of kids do well. [/quote]

This is so true for all the W schools. It’s better to be a smart kid at a non W school or even a Title 1 school.

The competition is cut throat at the W schools with so many kids with inflated grades and money for tutoring and money for club sports and private lessons.

I’ve said this many time only to be mocked by others, but it’s true. It’s better not to go to a W school [/quote]
