[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone who has had a child in a non magnet high school speak to the difference in workload as compared to a magnet? [/quote]
I do not have a student in a regular high school but I've asked many parents this in order to help our child make his decision and what I've heard is that it depends on the school and the child.  If you have a motivated child in a high achieving school they are likely to graduate with 10-12 AP courses and exams under their belt in which case they might be spending 3 hours a night on homework - perhaps even more if they have a lot of science classes with double periods and labs.  
So, the work load for this smaller group of students in a regular high school might be comparable to the work load for a magnet student.  The main differences then might be that the magnet child has a stronger peer group in most of his classes and is exposed to a much richer/ higher level curriculum.  I am not speaking from direct experience though.[/quote]
