[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since no one knows how this mysterious lottery works, other than the lower threshold, how would anyone know?[/quote]

Please don't try to make this into something that it isn't it's just a freaking lottery everyone knows exactly how those work there's no mystery[/quote]

No, there is plenty we don't know. Do they lottery within each eligible school cohort or within the overall pool, for example?[/quote]

It sounded like last year may have been a general pool but people were selected for the poll based on local norms of the top 15%. It wouldn't be surprising if they improved the process going forward. I remember reading all the doom and gloom about the cohort criteria a few years ago but in reality by the second year they'd improved it to the point that the admitted students were just as strong or stronger than the old pre-universal screening system that relied on subjective factors.[/quote]

I don't think that's necessarily true. I'm not saying this because I think the universal screening is bad. I support universal screening but MCPS has not released any data to say either way. What I've heard s only anecdotal from teachers and the new groups of students are different - less motivated as a whole which makes because it took a lot to apply to these things in the past, and there are more students needing extra help in certain subjects which again makes sense because they took a wider array of students from different backgrounds.[/quote]
