[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well, that's not how statistical data are typically presented for studies. But then this isn't a study. Nobody is looking to replicate results.

Also, there can't be any confidence intervals, because this is a census, not a sample. How much statistics have you had?[/quote]

NP:  It has everything to do with being transparent about the selection process.  I understand fully what the poster means by just presenting the median.  You have revealed what you know about presenting lies via "statistics".

What information do you want to know about the selection process? MCPS says, "Criteria used to evaluate candidates include above-grade-level achievement; teacher, parent, and community recommendations; test scores, and report card grades." What would you consider "transparent"? How is it lying to just present the median, which is in any case only one of multiple criteria? And why do you care? Do you think that MCPS is rejecting more-qualified applicants in favor of less-qualified applicants? And if so, what goal is MCPS trying to achieve?[/quote]
