I don't believe this for a second.  I have a kid at CCES CES, and almost no one got into the MS magnets.  Irrespective of what ES they came from.  It's not possible that none of these kids are the top kid when compared with the pool at the home school.  They absolutely are considering the CES kids to be coming "from" the CES elementary school, not from the home school.  I strongly believe that going to the CES now reduces the chance of getting into the MS magnets.  But I can also see some value to spreading around those opportunities.  My kid got 2 great years in CES, and now a kid from our home ES who didn't have that will have a similarly rigorous experience in MS.  And my kid will be coming from a different MS when time rolls around for HS programs.  Or kid will have a great experience at the home HS.  It is what it is and you're not guaranteed the perfect individualized learning experience from public school.  If that's what you want you have to go pay for it.  Our kid has flourished in the CES.  But kid will most likely also be fine at the home MS.  It is what it is.  [/quote]
+1 to the almost no one got in this year.[/quote]
RCES is a local, rather than regional, CES. Last year we only knew of 2 kids who got into a ms magnet (could have been more we just didn’t know about). This year there were at least 7. It doesn’t work out the same way every year.[/quote]
