I truly don’t think application forgery is rampant at other top magnets like Dealey Montessori but I can absolutely tell you it is rampant at Booker T. For a kid who is especially gifted in dance, music, theatre, etc - they have a better shot of getting on these elite colleges’ radars through the Booker T system than through the Frisco HS theatre department or JJ Pearce drill team. It’s one of the top 5 public high schools in the country and can be a “golden ticket” to Juilliard, Berkelee School of Music and other top arts colleges and programs. And unlike the physical buildings in the suburbs, that school history can’t be manufactured quickly or easily. They try to take the spots because while a few suburbs have attempted to create arts magnets to catch Dallas overflow (Grand Prairie comes to mind), the reality is that Booker T is the best in the region and maybe the state in many programs. The difference is that I don’t care when someone in Prosper pretends to have easy access to the downtown Arts district, while I do absolutely care if they take a spot at our magnet schools. ![]() The suburban way of life is to disavow our problems (which no reasonable person denies we have) while claiming our amenities for their own. What's the point of suburbanite parents cheating to get their children into Booker T Washington? Isn't the whole point of living in the suburbs to have a good public school district zoned to your home? Countless threads on this board are dedicated to parents getting their children into some great feeder pattern in Plano or Frisco ISD.
