[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So MoCo thinks that it's a good trade to put extremely high performers back in their home ES and MS where there is a defunct curriculum and no ability tracking whilst putting a new composite of URM OK performers into a highly engaging gifted & talented curriculum that is commensurate with the top private schools in the area because its goal is to "close the achievement gap."

They basically killed the hgc program and put a slower diversity program in place and relabeled it Center for enriched Studies. They are once again betting that having a bunch of gifted students in class with others will magically bring up the others. The teachers will be pressured to creat results that show this too.[/quote]

Not at all There's no evidence that the URM students admitted to the MS magnets are not as extremely smart and motivated as the students from last year or their white and Asian peers. Are they as qualified as the Asian American students who were rejected? We don't know.

In terms of ES, anecdotally, there seem to be a higher numbers of minority students admitted but MCPS hasn't released comprehensive statistics. [/quote]
