Yes, we are able to take people outside of our attendance area, but how about this for our pitch.....
First, we are not a private school like Christ Church and BE. This is a common misconception. Therefore, the "scholarship" money argument has no basis with us. For the most part, our students have to provide their own transportation.
Second, I do not see our academic requirements at any of the other schools who are recruiting. Here is our recruiting pitch... come to Magnet where you are not only expected to maintain high athletic standards but you are also required to present a senior thesis and pass or you do not graduate. On top of that, you are required to take at least 4 AP classes your senior year. Also, after each year, the school is able to re-examine your benefit to the school. Each student is essentially on a one year contract with the school. If you do not perform to their academic requirements, then you are dismissed from the school and sent to your home school.
Oh yeah, and there are the Algebra 1 and BSAP requirements to even get into Magnet. If after hearing all of that, anyone wants to accuse us of recruiting, you are more than welcome to do so but if the above pitch sounds good to you, then you are more than welcome to leave your home school and come to us.
