Val, that very thing is happening through the magnet program at the Title 1 school our son attends. The K-2 aspect is open to any student, and the school is taking lessons learned through the program and carrying them into the non-magnet classrooms. Though there are a couple of public HG+ options in the city, we are hoping the school can keep up as I think they have a great model.
