[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in CES (got pulled off the wait list after 1st quarter) for 5th grade after a student moved.   She is low 90s to 97% on MAP.  Her most recent math was 87% from I can tell on the link provided earlier in the thread.   Honestly, she outperforms most of the students in class work wise since she is much more collaborative and good at motivating other students.  The teacher said she is a perfect CES candidate.  MAP percentiles have never been mentioned.  I think people need to understand that MAP is not the only criteria anymore.[/quote]

And, this makes no sense as many of our kids had much higher scores, especially in math.  Anyone 95 and up should be in, really 90 and up.[/quote]

It makes perfect sense. The lottery this year consisted of student s who scored 85% or higher. Students were selected at random. The majority of new magnet students will be close to 85%.. this is very different than previous years where 90% scored 95% or higher. Next year that number will be more like 20%.[/quote]

The lottery makes no sense if the cut off is 85% as that really hurts kids like mine who score much higher. But, its MCPS, we have zero expectations so anything is a bonus.[/quote]

I agree but that's what the county did this year. They've come out stated this publicly. [/quote]
