[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For these win the lottery, can you share your race and FARM rate?[/quote]

My daughter got in.  She had 227 MAP, is white and we have a 31% FARMS rate. I thought she was pretty smart, so I'm blown away at these 230 and 240 scores.  Wow.

To answer PP, she can read basically anything that is meant for elementary or middle schoolers, but mostly chooses multiple hundred page chapter books that are meant for maybe 9-12 year olds.  Anything older than that she wouldn't enjoy the content probably.  She's a third grader and loves funny silly books regardless of what her level actual is.  She is currently reading the Heroes of Olympus book series by Rick Riordan. [/quote]

Back in the day almost every child that was at DC's CES class had scores in the 230s and low 240s. They teacher shared the scores. One child had even higher! [/quote]

Could've been a 5th grade class. Even if it was a 4th grade class, that means as 3rd graders, they likely scored 10-15 points less, so in the 220s or even 210s as 3rd graders. Not so different from now.[/quote]

Actually quite different from now. I think you're reading too much into PP's post and that they meant that those 230s and 240s were scores when the kids were in 3rd grade. But if you're right, and they had 210s or 220 in 3rd grade, they wouldn't have even qualified for the CES lottery pool this year at most low FARMs schools, so kudos to MCPS for raising the bar so high.
