[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting document.  I guess they determine if you have a cohort based on "receives enrichment/acceleration". the document says they are blinded to school and thus why CES students are affected more than non-CES.  [/quote]

This is beyond backwards.  Is there any word on whether they have changed their admission process this year to make sure CES kids are not at a disadvantage?  [/quote]

CES kids aren't at a disadvantage. Because CES students received greater enrichment they should have higher map scores than kids who did not attend CES. [/quote]

And if all that extra enrichment fails translate into higher scores then its probably a waste to send a kid to a magnet anyway.[/quote]
What happened last year is kids from CES schools were passed over for kids with lower scores. 
[/quote]

This is factually inaccurate. With the advent of universal screening, admissions got a lot more competitive. [/quote]

Actually, according to the info MCPS, has put out more kids who need help keeping up with the magnet curriculum got in. So the admissions rate did go down if you count all kids who took the test as "applicants" but it sounds like more students with low(er) scores got in.[/quote]

Exactly [/quote]

And there were more of the highest scorers on all the various tests than in past years, so it became doubly hard to get in this year for top scorers.  More of them and fewer spaces.[/quote]
