[quote=Anonymous]There was an application that came in the mail from MCPS-- it's sent out by the central office (for magnet programs) to the parents of all 3rd graders (looks sort of like a newsletter but with a note on the front saying it's the application). My understanding is that test scores are part of the equation (which I think includes both the Terra Nova and the specific test they take in January), but also teachers recommendations from 2d and 3d grades are important. I thought the application was meant to make sure people knew what the program involved upfront, because it doesn't make a lot of sense for people to apply, teachers to write reccs., people to evaluate applications, etc. if a parent is going to conclude that a long bus ride, or the need to switch schools means they are not interested.
