[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It opened the door to much more students who wouldn't have applied to the magnet if the application was not so simple as this year (and last year?). The magnet program used to be an exclusive club for well-informed students/families with resources. But it will change.[/quote] This was a good thing. The cohort at magnet schools used to be a good security net to fall back on because everyone was at least good at so e of the subjects and could complement each others’ weaknesses. Now they are picking based on home school cohorts, resulting in random kids who could care less about school getting into blair because of “diversity” and lowering the collective gpa of the magnet, making it less favorable to colleges looking for kids from good high school programs.
