[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why a lottery for elementary and middle but no lottery for high school? Why can't they do whatever they were planning on doing for high school to elementary and middle school? I hate lotteries. I'd rather my kid be rejected on merit than rejected because he had the intellect but lost out on a game of chance. [/quote] This is exactly my feeling too. I think at least for MS magnets, there is enough data in students' academic history portfolio to make a holistic review. Furthermore as someone else already pointed out, lottery would probably reduce magnets' appeal, which would not be good considering that one of the reasons MCPS started those programs at those schools was to draw high performing students.[/quote]
