I was in gifted and went to Greenville Elementary. Same thing. Wasn't really that big a deal in elementary school though.
Now in HS or middle school...it makes a huge difference.
Most of all the good teachers hauled arse from SMHS when they heard it wasn't gonna be just magnet. I graduated in 96, changes took place the following year. My brother still went there and saw firsthand what a difference it made. Went from maybe one fight a year there(like us nerds knew how to fight) to fights daily. Place became a mini war zone from how he describes it

No doubt. I wouldn't blame them. McKinley Middle Magnet's 'magnet program' was MOVED from Glasgow(in Southdowns) for obvious reasons a few years before I got there. We had some AWESOME teachers. I remember so much of those lectures/lessons to this day.
