[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] It's most notable at lower-resourced schools to start with, places that otherwise don't have a large enough cohort of students to run many advanced classes. [b] Bringing in dozens or hundreds more advanced kids creates much more demand for those classes-[/b]- not necessarily the magnet classes themselves, but just the suite of advanced classes that richer schools offer as standard but many middle and high-FARMS schools do not. (There can also be benefits around things like what extracurriculars are available, etc.) [/quote] Is there data from Blair on this?[/quote]
