[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be great if they actually chose only the best and brightest as per test score -- although there are many who would argue that the tests themselves are not a perfect measure of who is the best and the brightest. But MCPS is not doing that -- because of the peer cohort criterion. The middle school magnet classes that are chosen from those with the top test scores, a number of whom are rejected because other kids in their home middle schools also scored extremely high, will not yield a class of the top scorers only. The new MCPS magnet admissions process was specifically not intended to be solely a merit-based system.[/quote] +1[/quote] +1. They move to an “at MCPS discretion” admit process and don’t even make public scrubbed scores of those admitted and not admitted.[/quote]
