I thought it was Winter because the fall scores are usually lower after summer


That's not a very Magnet student approach to academics

I don't believe we've gotten the criteria based magnet letter yet. My child did get her interests based magnet letter though

it's the same letter. You will get one letter saying whether they were entered into the pool or not for each program, and the results. If in pool, it will say if they got a lottery slot at the magnet(s) or whether they will be provided enrichment at the home ES. [note that I'm just conveying what the letter says, not saying there will actually be enrichment at the home school.....plenty of other threads on that].


Do you mean the home MS? That sounds like the CES lottery letter but maybe it’s basically the same


Yeah PP here, I had a brain fart and was thinking back to the CES lottery; for the middle school lottery it's the same concept in that you find out whether they were placed in the pool and got offered a slot out of the pool in the same letter.

It is fall for MS magnets because of when the run the lottery. Not all schools have done winter by then. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ct2hiEKkIPWGm0j97ORKQgef9EQIMrHYlPo12JB_Jyw/preview?tab=t.0

For CES it is winter.
