As a newcomer to Durham I was really interested to hear about the magnet schools programme. I am however more interested to hear about the locals viewpoints who live among them. While the montessori is nothing new, how about the others?
I am very happy with Gifted and Talented (GT) program in Wake County. They exposed elementary level kids to a wide variety of subjects in Art, Science, Math, Dance, Music etc. etc. My kids love the school too. Off-course they have a longer bus ride and a vary diverse class population(a pluse)
My daughter attends Durham School of the Arts. We have a fantastic PTA and top notch academics. She is in middle school and it was announced at the last awards day that DSA middle school has the highest math scores in Durham County.
The last lottery there were 1,500 children applying for 300 slots. 200 in 6th grade and 100 for grades 7-11.
