[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I'm behind here.  My DD was accepted to the AIMS class but not the World History class cohort.  But I didn't even know it existed!  Where is the transparency of what classes are offered?  Or did I miss it?

Also, what was the criteria used?  Was it the magnet test?  Because our elementary school discouraged taking the test unless we thought we really wanted our child to attend the magnet school so I didn't have my DS sit for the test.  The school said that the test was awful and kids cry while taking it so why subject your children to it if you don't intend to send them to a different school anyway which we weren't considering anyway.

Is it possible to get recommended to move up to the cohort class in 7th grade if you didn't get in 6th grade?

Our school counselor is useless and is not being transparent about offering information so I'm trying to figure this out on my own.  If you have any other resources for information, please share. [/quote]

At least for the 18-19 school year taking the magnet class wasn’t a prerequisite.  There are no “special” classes for grade 7, although I have been told they will try to keep the cohort together which doesn’t mean all that much.[/quote]
