[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is now a lottery system based on primarily map scores and grades. COGAT testing will not be an indicator for the 25-26 school year.[/quote]

so what was the point of taking the cogat?[/quote]

The GT identification process is run by a different office from the one that does CES admissions. CogAT is used only for GT identification, which doesn’t affect whether kids are entered into the CES lottery. This doesn’t make any sense, but that’s MCPS for you. [/quote]

But my kid was already identified as GT in second grade. Could he be stripped of GT status based on Cogat score? [/quote]

No, but “GT status” offers bragging rights only. It is the CES/middle school magnet lotteries that you should care about.[/quote]

I don't know anyone who brags about this, especially given the large proportion of the student population identified.  The CES/criteria-based MS programs offer the most enrichment at those levels, so the criteria for lottery inclusion would be of interest while the seating capacities there remain woefully low in comparison to the population which would benefit and while local enrichment options lag.  Still, GT identification can be a basis for conversations, whether about an individual or about a cohort, with teachers/administrators to advocate for employment of available enrichment options.[/quote]
A large proportion of students are honor roll students. Not a gate opener but just another box to check. Better to have than not have.[/quote]
