[quote=Anonymous]There are two threads about the Covid-era magnet lottery process on the MCPS forum. Apparently qualified students (with good enough test scores and possibly other factors) were put in a pool for each magnet, and then a lottery system was used to determine who would get in. With parents comparing notes on the other thread, we're finding out that - surprise! - some very high MAP scorers did not win the lottery, while some lower-scoring kids did. I'm sure it won't affect the cohort that much, since in my opinion the magnet middle schools could expand their seating by another 100 and still get the cream of the crop. But... parents of outliers who did not win the lottery are understandably disappointed. It doesn't seem like a fair process to those kids at all; they are now stuck in their home school with "advanced" programming. [/quote]
