[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current selection system for academic-based magnets in MCPS is complete crap, OP. It's a lottery once you've been selected based on academic criteria. My kid, who tests above the 99th percentile every year on MAPs, was in-pool and not selected come lottery time. MCPS made this change during the pandemic, then refused to change it back. The rumor is that MCPS, for equity and budget reasons, wants to curtail academic magnets, twice exceptional programs, and high-level courses in math and world languages in middle school.[/quote] Yes, the most effective way to close the gap is by eliminating all the enrichment opportunities, especially for high-scorers like your child. They can show that the gap is closing by making it harder for them to reach their true potential. The problem is they can't do this from the bottom up since many of these families just don't prioritize education.[/quote]
