[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sigh.  my kid got 280 on mapm and 248 on mapr, 99% national % and between 95-99% for mcps.  straight As from a CES.  5s on parcc.  Asian boy in W district.  outright rejected.[/quote]

I'm so sorry, PP! That sounds completely discriminatory, because I KNOW there are extremely few students with 280 on their MAP-M. I have a discrimination story at the 3rd grade level for entry to a W district CES (Asian student with higher scores than mixed African-American; former rejected, latter accepted).

I hope you appealed and are party to the lawsuit.

Just a reminder that the applications are race blind. The process may look "unfair" from the outside, without all of the data points, but race was not known by the committee. [/quote]

Just a reminder that just because MCPS says it is, doesn't mean it actually is. This is why MCPS is currently under investigation for potential discrimination against Asian-American students at the magnet middle school level.

You should also know that MCPS students are categorized by race and ethnicity the first time their parents enroll them: either the parent checks the requisite box on the form, or the registrar present during enrollment checks what they think are the right boxes (and for mixed race families or certain Hispanics, may very well guess wrong!).
