[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS should hire my husband, or another savvy programmer, who can build them a neat little algorithm to pick out the best student for each magnet :-) The program can weigh math and reading test scores and Cogat subscores differently according to each magnet, and take into account ESOL, FARMS or IEP status. It can also identify cohorts of similarly-scoring students per home middle school, separate the outliers for magnet purposes and group the rest into a list ready to plug into the "advanced" regular programming. I don't know if they already have an algorithm for magnet selection, but it sure as heck hasn't worked well at all. And that lottery is a complete cop-out. [/quote] You are sweet and new around here. Don't worry, the lottery was not random.[/quote] Except that it was[/quote]
