[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS focuses more on home school cohorts.   If you already have enough high achieving kids at your home school then your kid is getting plenty of challenges from the school and peers otherwise the scores wouldn’t be so high in the first place.

[b]So, they are focusing magnets on students who are achieving highly but not with enough highly able students/schools.[/b]

I can see the MCPS logic but I don’t necessarily agree with it.  What we need are more and expanded magnet programs.

Because this was supposed to be the point of magnets when they were initially developed long ago.  It also makes the most logical and fiscal sense.  MCPS has one of the most expansive magnet program availability (including HS special programs) of public schools in the US.  If anything, before expanding magnet programs that need to review what is currently available, add in some standardization across like programs, and either elevate or get rid of those with lower application/enrollment.  Then we can talk about expansion.

If there is any place I would give more money and people to in MCPS it would be the evaluation group.  Then we could really see some things.[/quote]
