I seriously doubt "hundreds" of kids from SG area go to Mckinley.
You can doubt it all you want to. That's fine with me.

There are currently 499 students at Baton Rouge Magnet High School who live in what would be the SG school district.

That was posted on this board in an article 3 weeks ago by a SG proponent.

Since we know that GT students get second choice behind magnet school students in EBR to attend BRMHS based on an article in the Advocate 2 weeks ago explaining why there are so few GT students accepted into BRMHS (13 GT students total, as I recall), it's very reasonable to hypothesize that there are "hundreds of gifted and talented students" at McKinley who live in SG.

I'm a McKinley GT grad (early 90s). Can someone explain to me why high achieving public school students (GT kids) get second choice at BRMS now? Is this true? I cannot think of one positive reason for doing this.

Mckinley only has 400 total students who take gifted classes. So you are saying at least half of those are from SG?
