[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. BCC isn't downcounty consortium. 2. There is a "geographic" criteria for magnet selection, so that MCPS can give an advantage to poorly-performing schools in lower-income districts. So if you're in Bethesda, yes, your child is at a disadvantage, even if you scraped together all you had to afford a rent-controlled apartment there. [/quote] It is my understanding that this has not been the case for HS magnet selection in the past. I'm sure they are discussing the possibility since it was instituted for MS magnet selection to Eastern and Takoma Park and has always been used for Parkland/Loiderman/the other I can't remember (though for the msmc schools it is better to be in a wealthier area because they need more wealthy people).[/quote] There are many advantages people who live in Bethesda enjoy which are often not available to those in less wealthy areas. The cohort criteria does little to offset that privielge.[/quote]
