re: Anyone had children that attended BR Magnet schools?

Application period usually runs between October and December for the following year, and acceptance letters went out in January. Some schools will open up a 2nd application period if they have spots that aren't filled. So if you're looking for a Kindergarten spot for the 2017-2018 year, you need to apply in a few months.

EBRPSS usually has a Magnet Mania Fair one Saturday in October at Cortana Mall, which showcases all the programs in the magnet schools and Gifted/Talented schools. Open Houses at the various schools are in October (although some will give you a tour at other times if you call and schedule one).
