by the way, the N&O fiolks and the WTVD folks were there, and to say "mixed reviews", based upon the presentation & the Q&A would be sensationalism. Did they ask folks questions outside and cobble together snippets of statements and get their headline? Sure.
Will people be able to buy (a house and thus gain) their way into a particular school? No. Will it require a paradigm shift because of that - yes.
We as Realtors will simply include links to the assignment page, because we're not going to open ourselves up to liability in claiming the 1st choice the assignment page lists is actually a "first choice" because of the priority system.
I don't know, Farmington woods is on my magnet list too, but the feeder for the IB program is Garner. Then I also have it listed as a proximity school, but the feeder school is West Cary. I was going under the assumption that IB magnet students (by magnet application) would continue with an IB magnet middle school and proximity students would go to a traditional curriculum feeder school.
It's weird, FW isn't even showing up as a magnet option for me. So strange. I have a couple of years before I need to really start fretting over this sort of thing so hopefully it'll all be sorted by then
the following applies if FW is a Group 2 magnet, which I *think* it is.
If you have a magnet on your proximity list, then you cannot apply for a magnet seat at that school. If you attend FW as a proximity student, then you will have priority to get a seat at the feeder IB middle school. Magnet students at FW (and other Group 2 magnets) will automatically feed into the IB middle.
