[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to let all those parents know who criticized the magnet selection not being fair as many high performing kids from CES centers did not get selected, raw scores were requested, data were shared, and law suits were threatened, MAP- M scores of [b]most[/b] of selected kids range from 250-294. Math counts try outs are competitive and still have high flyers from sixth grade though the selection criteria of these sixth graders was based on cogat and not traditional way, science class is serious business with lots of hands raised to answer teacher’s questions on a specific topic discussion. I don’t see these kids being any less smart (than those who did not make it to the magnet and parents cried foul). 
Just sharing my observations as I see similar threads popping up about this year’s selection to middle school magnets.[/quote]

Most?  What were the average scores compared to previous years.  How many kids were rejected with scores at the top end of this range.  That's what people want to know.[/quote]

Exactly. Love these fuzzy anecdotal claims, obviously made by parents whose kids got in with lower metrics than the rejected "peer cohort" W feeder kids. I'm quite sure THEY JUST KNOW how smart the admitted kids are.[/quote]
