[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone point me to a site or pdf whereby MCPS breaks down the number of applicants and acceptances to the lottery and criteria-based high school magnets? Any chance they’re also transparent on the feeder middle schools as well? Looking for tangible data. Thanks. [/quote] For criteria-based HS magnets, they determine selections heavily by GPA and MAP scores, and try to find a reasonable balance in numbers between the feeders. So, a low FARMS MS will have a lower cut-off for consideration than a W HS feeder, where you have a good number of straight A 99%ers. When you have a large pool of the latter kinds of students, the application essays help differentiate. It's basically a nebulous process by definition, so difficult to quantify. Lottery is just that, a lottery. Presumably you can look up the number of seats; the number of applications will vary in a given year. [/quote]
