DD goes to a magnet program within a school, it is also in also in a poor neighborhood. They are separated from the general population for the entire day, except if they are staying after school for the after school care. That is where there have been issues between the kids zoned for the school and the magnet kids. It hasn't been bad, but interestingly enough there have been cases of some of the magnet program kids picking on the regular program kdis for being stupid.
