I keep hearing the words "gifted magnets" while referring to public schools. There is no such thing where I live (in Northern California) - we have "alternative program" schools which tend to be more academically focused and entry is based on lotteries rather than giftedness.
I keep thinking that living in an area with a "gifted magnet" school would be great. So, where in the US are these schools located? (of course, I know about the Davidson Institute). Does any parent on this forum send their kids to these schools?
