They can identify "ever" FARMS kids and other school districts have done this successfully by giving extra points to ever FARMS and ever ESOL kids.
This is actually the premier model being used after a big success in the Miami gifted program. |

Yes, but this is unrelated to the school SES bands they're using for the CogAT. |

| The previous PP asked why they are using SES bands based on the school and not the individual child. This was a response to that question. |

But if you go back in history to the MCPS magnets a lot of the goal was desegregation. They evolved over the years to become selective, advanced academic programs for those motivated to apply but it wasn't always that way. I think college admissions are a different issue - related but different. |

| Are we still sharing results on this thread? 59% MCPS and 91% nationwide, a girl, rejected. |

Personally, that history matters very little to me. A modern public school system needs to have: 1. Challenging work for its general population, which MCPS does not really have at the elementary school level, and not much at the middle school level. It gets better in high school. 2. Special programs for its special needs population and ESOL population. There are solid systems in place for learning differences (with the shocking exception of dyslexia, this should be corrected ASAP) and various programs for Asperger's, autism, emotional disorders, etc, as well as magnets for highly able students. Yes, I consider all these differences to be special needs. All of these programs could be made better, but I'm happy they're THERE. Well and good. What I don't want to do is use the public school system as the tool for racial healing. It won't work, and in the process students are not getting placed where they should be. |

Home school? CES? I assume your child's MAP-R and MAP-M scores were high 99th percentile and he or she had all As. |

That is interesting. My son 80% MCPS, 97% National, Rejected. Zoned for Barnsley. |

FARMS or ESOL? |

Barnsley looks to be pretty competitive this year. Someone posted earlier that a 93% MCPS/99% national child was also rejected from BE - is that Barnsley. |

No, I asked. It was Bethesda Elementary. The CES is Chevy Chase. |

She was accepted into Cold Spring (Not FARMS or ESOL). She is quite advanced, especially in writing. I just don't understand the 80% number. |
