New to the idea of magnet programs, our 4th grade son showed us his Cogat scores yesterday. He will have the option to join the magnet program.
Our school district houses its magnet program in a designated school between grade 4 and 8. The student would leave his/her current school and classmates, and will need to adapt to a new environment.
On one hand we certainly like him to be more challenged in academics, on the other we worry about his development of social skills. Any parents facing the same dilemma? If so, any experience/thoughts to share? Thank you.
