[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thing has been mentioned is whether the kid has chance to find academic peer group in your home middle school.  Very trick part, highly implicating you must do much better in some W school to be invited to attend these selective programs.  Actually, same thing has been happening in elementary gifted centers.  Competition into Cold Spring GT program is totally different story from into Barnslay, Clear Spring, Dr. Chews, Pineoak.  I do know a couple of kids have much higher score than admitted kids in non-Cold Spring GT program, but they even could not be put on waiting list in Cold Spring GT program.  [/quote]

This. It's all about selecting who mcps wants to select. Lastly year I started the thread on how W school students were specifically kept out from Blair despite of good test scores and credentials. The little tricky part from yesterday- 3000 will be selected based on Map  M and R and PARCC and committee will take in to consideration if home middle school can fit the bill to provide to these high achievers rather than Takoma park. Now there only they have sifted who they want in and then written test among those 3000 can further sift the 100. Would I want my child to go to TPMS if selected in that 100 as there will be peer group activities that could have some that are actually not the gifted but mcps selected based on race and not on academic credentials.

At the tpms open house for accepted students 2 years ago, the director mentioned that Cold Spring bus stop for magnet students required 2 school buses to accommodate all the kids coming from that area. That would suggest that Cold Spring area kids are overrepresented at tpms magnet.[/quote]
