They also said that my son will remain in the pool for that school so if a spot opens he may be able to get in. The parents that did get into their magnet choice have I think 30 days to make a decision if they want in and if they choose to stay at their base school then a spot will come open. Don't forget some people may move out of the county so spots can open that way as well.

I would contact them and ask questions or even go visit the growth and planning office and see what your options are. They were very helpful in explaining the process and took away allot of my anger I had that my son didn't get into the magnet school. There is still hope that he can! Below is the contact info.

Yes, briefly. However we don't think that's best for her socially. Plus there's a whole drawn out process you have to go through, from my understanding, and you still may end up not getting accepted.
