[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to pile on to the negativity, but you might want to search on these forums for "peer cohort" so that you have more of an understanding of MCPS's official position.[/quote]

But doesn't that apply more to middle school and high school magnets? If a CES draws from all wealthy areas, peer cohort doesn't come into play that much, does it?
Thinking of Chevy Chase CES.

It does, and how. My child didn't get into Chevy Chase CES despite having 99% pretty much across the board. There were multiple kids like DD in her grade, and that's exactly where the 'peer cohort' concept came into play. Now they are all in the same class together, at their home school.[/quote]

So I'm curious which ES school in your cluster does not have sufficient peer cohort (from which they presumably took kids for CES rather than the kids at your school).[/quote]

I mean which ES in the Chevy Chase CES boundary[/quote]

Yeah, I don't think the peer cohort thing matters much for CCCES.  My impression was that they invited 4-6 kids from every ES in the cluster, so no ES was favored or disfavored.  Of course, that doesn't mean that every kid that was qualified got an invite.  There are probably 10 kids with 99% across the board at each of these schools, I think.  (Also, they are all big, overpopulated schools.)  You can pull the PARCC scores for each of these schools and see how many kids got 5's -- PARCC stinks, but I bet it would show that each of these schools has a bunch of high scorers.[/quote]
