[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised to see the article said that outside testing was used to qualify. I did not think this was true.[/quote] It was just one of the many ways wealthier parents could game the system in past years.[/quote] the prior system sounds ridiculous. parent recommendations and teacher recommendations needed to qualify instead of universal screening.[/quote] There was also a test.[/quote] They changed the test last year. Messed up some of the prep program success rates.[/quote] The second statement is not true. The test was very similar to the test the kids aced to get into the CESs in the first place, which is why MCPS won't release the test scores of the admitted students. It was the "peer cohort" criteria that messed up success rates. [/quote]
