Even Leicester won the BPL too.

I think you're right. Frost had a good day but I doubt this will happen again or is even repeatable. In fact, let's follow up on this in a couple of months and see how it pans out. Most the nonsense posted here is by bitter parents whose kids weren't able to make the cut for TPMS so they delight in trash-talking and spreading debunked conspiracy theories.

You mean MCPS admitting high performers only based on peer cohort is a conspiracy theory?

Sure, Fost had a good day, but will likely be creamed by TPMS in the state competition next month. The bitter parents whose kids failed to make the cut at TPMS will gloss over this since it doesn't support their bogus narrative.

Yes, Frost did great, but it's just one extracurricular competition. We'll see how they do against TPMS next month at the state competition.

Admitting high-performers based on FARMS rate makes perfect sense. The same parents who complain about this are also the ones who talks about the "good" and "bad" schools. It makes sense to account for the differences in opportunities available at these schools when identifying the highest performers.

My kid didn't bother applying (too far) and is now in RMIB. I'm not bitter. I'm disappointed that MCPS has gone this route for magnet programs. I think we will continue to see TP not do as well in math competitions in the future. I'm sorry, but even MCPS stated that they are not admitting the highest test scorers across the county. That will obviously have an impact on the class in TP. Again, it doesn't take a math genius to figure that out.

Sure.. but then you get a program full of not the highest performing students, and then you see them not doing as well in math competitions. We're not arguing whether "peer cohort" admission "makes sense" or not. People are stating that doing so would impact the caliber of the class, and we are seeing that play out.

I would have said that it’s the most bizarre post on the thread. Did the poster mean “crow” and “crowing” instead of “glow” and “glowing?”

It sure seems like straightforward gloating with a tinge of parental bitterness to me.

But in reality, they are the highest performing kids. They just lacked the same opportunities as those at the more affluent segregated schools.

I know there are some parents who are very bitter about the changes to magnet admissions but I really wouldn't read that much into a single math competition. Let's see how they do at the state contest next month before jumping to conclusions.

Ok. The bet is on. It is not just Mathcounts. If mathkangaroo?AMC8, mathleague over the past year are of any predictive value TPMS does not have a chance next month although they have MCPS’s best middle school math teacher to help them.

Or possibly the new cohort rules are working as intended since Frost apparently has a strong cohort too and even more kids are benefitting from this change.

Isn’t this what people wanted? To have enriched opportunities at their home school so they didn’t have to ride a bus all the way to a neighborhood they were afraid of?

+100 seems like Frost kids don't need to travel across the county to find peers and be challenged.
