<p>well, the thing with northeast high is, it’s magnet program is somewhat the Central High for the far northeast students. I live near Northeast high but i chose to go to Central because i can manage to commute to it. There are kids who would have to take 3 buses etc to get to it and just end up choosing Northeast Magnet. I was considering choosing Northeast magnet since its nearby. In the end, northeast magnet is still not as good. Its okay, but its education is declining rapidly. Only the very top brilliant students get to make it into Penn. Usually, northeast sends like 5-10 students to Penn. Masterman, we cannot compare. You have to be in the middle school to get into the high school and getting into the middle school is a bit tough. Its not THAT hard but still. I probably would have gone to the middle school but i never knew about it. You are supposed to apply 5th grade and i just never knew it even existed or anything. But a Central Education is just as good.</p>
