[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You guys seriously don't understand statistics, and completely ignore MCPS' own methodology which looks at cohort at the home school. [b]They USED to pick the top 2.5% of all test takers.[/b] Now, they look at cohort before they pick the "top" performers. A kid who got a higher score but has a cohort at the home school will be denied entrance. This is very similar to how the average scores of URM in top universities are much lower than the ORM in those schools. You can argue that this method is "better", but to say that these students are the top 2.5% is disingenuous and actually, shows that you are clueless about how statistics works.[/quote] They did? Where did you get that information from?[/quote]
