Care to share your child's CES raw scores?

Although my kid had perfect scores on everything, I was thrilled they could stay in their home school because of its strong cohort. The county really got this right! WTG MCPS!

Agree. I think the whole regional magnet program is a waste of tax money and shall be canceled. Just provide a magnet class or two in each home school. For poorly-performing schools, just send the few top kids (who do not have a cohort) to the magnet class in a neighboring strong school.

wait, just one or two magnet class? You think the other parents with kids not in the magnet class think their kids are not as good as the ones as yours? Very soon, the entire school will be magnet, compact class is the best example.

grouping kids by their level is not a hard concept

Grouping kids by their levels is only easy in concept. That's why it is not well implemented in many schools.

I would be thrilled if our elementary did this. We had this back in the day in my non-MoCo MD school, and it was always good. We got to do more challenging stuff.

I can see why they want to mix up skill levels, but at some point I think kids at the extremes get left behind. Would be awesome if more advanced kids could do more, and kids catching up could be given more attention.
