[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved into the area so please forgive me if this sounds ignorant. I am very confused by all the information on the different threads. Could someone please explain the criteria for CES admissions for elementary school in MCPS? I understand that this is centralized now and are not requesting parent nomination/input. But what are the objective measures used?
1&gt; MAP Scores? Is this an average over past year? 2 years? 
2&gt; Is there a COGAT test that will be administered? Or has this already passed by?
3&gt; Other criteria?
Thanks![/quote]

If your students are in grades lower than 3rd, they will be given an InView test in 2nd grade, which is a prequalifier to take the cogat screener.
Except after everyone has taken the inview, they will open the cogat up to everyone, so the inview is essentially meaningless.  Except the inview will give your child a gifted and talented designation.  Except they can be rescreened for the inview if you request it. 
If your students are in 3rd grade or above,  they should be given an inview test to see if they are gifted and talented.  
Map scores, count on being in the 99% to gain admission to CES. Except if your home school hosts a local CES, in which case the range is a bit lower but still highly competitive. [/quote]
