[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the whole point of redistricting is to avoid schools made up of struggling students.   [/quote]

What needs to happen is  assign one school in the consortium to be for higher performing students. I am currently in the NEC and would love for one of the 3 schools to be dedicated or offer a magent program for the higher performing kids. Instead - they are mixing every level together and this is not helping anyone. I also agree with parent and student accountability. If you want your kid in the more challenging school, you will do what it takes to make it possible. [/quote]

Springbrook has the IB program. While it's opt in (only RM has test in), many kids opt out b/c it's too hard - or they drop out once they've "committed."  I'd say that's a magnet minus testing, as any DP (diplomma programme - 11th and 12th) must follow rigorous guidelines or risk losing accreditation.

same is true for MYP, which is a philosophical framework for grades 6-10
