[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - My kid got it at the end of her test and just showed me.

We are in a W feeder school so I'm guessing it's going to be unlikely that my kid gets into a magnet MS.[/quote]

If you're not at a CES even if you're at a W-feeder school, that increases your chance vastly.[/quote]

This is not true. I think what you are trying to claim is that if you are not at a school that houses a CES.[/quote]

OP, 
Last year, for the current 6th grade, MCPS did a lot of "balancing" in their admissions. MCPS tried to make sure every elementary was represented so they took at least the top 2-3 in each school even if they were not outliers. Keep in mind this is the first class that went through universal screening in 3rd for the CESes so the score distributions were different than for previous classes.

If they use the same criteria as last year and if your child is not at a CES (assuming your child is not because of how the post was written) I think your child has a shot at Eastern but not Takoma with those scores but probably depends on your home MS. Pyle is much harder than some of the others due to peer cohort according to MCPS data. Pyle had something like 10 times the number of "highly able" students as some other W middle schools and a couple times more than even Cabin John and Hoover which was a surprise.

A lot will depend on the Cogat because if you are at a W elementary many kids will have MAP scores in that range.

MCPS seems to change the criteria every year so who knows what will happen next year though.[/quote]
