Maybe tuition cost comes into play. Harley loves to color. At the college level, admissions officials make their decisions with real, if somewhat subjective, data in hand. They look at GPA, class ranking, SAT score, extracurricular activities and maybe a personal essay. No such luck.
Public schools provide an education for all.
They hold a blind lottery for their magnet programs. It's only fair. We found out on April 14 that Harley did not get into Partnership, which has a separate lottery as the only county-run charter school. He did, however, get an offer at our first choice of the other magnets. By Wednesday we need to let the Wake County school system know our answer.
