There is no gt magnet here, but there is a math science magnet which ds10 is trying for (for middle school). I figure it will be a better fit socially (at least a bit) but he does have a few friends he'd be leaving behind and his very best friend is currently at our regular middle school, so that is a bigger issue...we are doing the "applying first, figure it out if he gets in" thing.
Testing here is a real slog, too, requesting, consideration, waiting, waiting some more, then when you least expect it, (and you kid probably has a cold or forgot their lunch...) they test. Sheesh. smile
