[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a massive difference. I knew it was big but a child who is 93rd percentile in math is not at all the same as a child who is 60th percentile in math. I support a lot of what MCPS is trying to do with equity but a child who is 60th percentile in math does not need to be in a math magnet. [/quote] I completely agree. 60th isn’t even ballpark.[/quote] It depends. With programs like CES, similar SES schools are typically grouped to the same centers. You'd think they can see where this was successful and not and refine the percentiles accordingly. For example, I have a kid at TPMS magnet. I do not have access to the data, but it seems like each year, they've refined the process to improve the selection. The first year there was a fairly high attrition rate because the process was frankly kind of bad especially from the high FARMS schools.[/quote]
