[quote=Anonymous]So sick of people's false assertion that universal testing resulted in the selection of the best and brightest. If true, that would mean only a minuscule number of best and brightest are from Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Potomac. A more even split sure, but a minuscule number is not plausible. MCPS won't release the median scores of admitted students, as they've always done, for a good reason. Tippy-top scores were not they criterion--geographic diversity as a proxy for race (which didn't work out as well as MCPS had hoped), and evidence of brightness were. Very few of even the self-reported scores on DCUM were straight 99%ers in all metrics, unlike scores of "peer cohort" rejectees, most of whom also had the advantage of the rigorous CES curriculum to prepare them for the MS magnets.
