[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always been confused by how -- beyond bringing up average test scores -- the magnets have spillover effects on the school. This is pertinent for the current dialogues on placing new 'magnets'/programs at all schools. What are these spillovers, if any? [/quote] I think people talk about magnets too much for what they are. There are only like 100 to 200seats in the county, and only a fraction of the qualified students get to go to them via the lottery process.[/quote] Their kids are in them or want their kids in them so they are advocating but given how few seats, most don't and some don't want it as they don't like the class offerings, distance, and other reasons. They are hyperfocused on saving them but that's the least of the concerns.[/quote]
