I think its pretty bad when the school system is quoted that it intentionally did not admit the brightest students into the program but chose to only admit the outliers within school districts. It also revealed that the admissions committee knew the home cluster/school of the applicants and the demographics of that school. MCPS is on record in the past saying that Asian Americans were over represented in the programs and guess what once they threw out merit and scores as the deciding factor in favor of geographic location which historically was very clear where the most Asian applicants came from - guess what? MCPS solved its Asian problem and reduced their presence.

This is pretty clear cut racial modeling. Shameful MCPS! Shameful![/quote]

[quote]correct.

and then the district doesn't have the balls to disclose these outlier's scores and how they fit in with historic or other admit scores.

I can tell you right now, the outliers at a terrible performing school are more likely to be way below par of what the outliers or even top third of a highly performing school are. There might be some rare exceptions, but an MCPS process wouldn't be able to ID that without a psych test and heavy teacher recs.[/quote]

+1 I also don't understand how MCPS can refuse to release the scores. On what grounds can a public school system refuse to share information that isn't personally identifiable? There shouldn't be any de-identified data within MCPS that MCPS gets to hide from the public. How is it not illegal for them to withhold this?[/quote]
