BR Magnet School

is this a I'm against st george thread?

Bunch of socially awkward nerds and foreigners.

Foreigners or nerds don;t bother me- a school not living up to its reputation does.

Currently, the magnet elementary schools (including the Montessori programs at Dufrocq and Belfair Elem.) feed into the magnet middle school programs, and the magnet middle schools have priority admission into BRMHS. You have to live within EBRPSS boundaries to get into any of those schools, so it does go by school district. (Unless you meant school attendance zone, and while some magnet schools do give priority to those living near the school, people outside the zone but still within EBRP school district can still attend.)

I have heard good things about the Montessori magnet programs from parents who had kids at other private Montessori schools and transferred. Dufrocq also has an academic magnet program and a traditional program at their school, but I think Belfair may be going towards offering just a Montessori program and extending the grades into middle school. You have to start early in the Montessori programs though; they only take them in pre-K or Kindergarten unless you transfer from another Montessori school.
