[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for all the replies! Even the arguments are interesting because it shows all sides of the debate. I guess it makes sense that the idea was to pull in students to a specific area (hence "magnet") vs. having a general G&T program where centralized locations would make more sense.

We are on the north side of RM, so the middle schools in SS aren't even in question. When people say that Crown may be an option when it opens, you mean for high school magnets, right? I haven't heard anything about a Crown middle school but I am far from staying on top of these things.[/quote]

OP, these magnets only  take in a  few hundred kids so don't count your kids getting in.[/quote]

Before all this stuff with COVID disrupted life as we knew it. It seemed like the county was expanding the magnet offerings at the HS level. They had opened several regional IB magnets to expand access to programs like what RMIB offers. I got the distinct impression that RMIB would eventually just be one of 4-5 regional magnets once they piloted these changes.  Further, it's not hard to imagine that they would do something similar to expand the STEM magnet options. The county has grown so much since these programs were introduced and they're very popular. There just aren't sufficient seats for qualified students. Nevertheless, this is a lot of speculation and I think it would be great if they opened a STEM magnet for the western part of the county at Kennedy or Springbrook.[/quote]
