[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in 4th grade at the Chevy Chase CES. We are thrilled with his progress. The curriculum and teaching have helped DC make big advances in his writing skills,  initiative, and self-awareness. His teacher and the principal have been wonderful. Our home school is excellent, but the CES peer group makes a higher level of instruction possible. [/quote]

We found the peer group this year to be comparable to our home school. With the low entry bar it's just a random sample of kids.[/quote]

How much information do you have about the peer group this year when it is only December? Unless you are a teacher, I would find it hard to believe that you would have access to that information.

I am not in favor of the lottery, so I am curious as to any info you have.  [/quote]

It's mostly anecdotal but imagine it's representative of the bigger picture. Based on what I know a few top students landed in the CES, but even more, were left behind.[/quote]

I am sure top students were left behind when they used testing too. Plus many parents with resources also prep their kids for cogAT. I know this because there are places like Dr.Li , C2 etc. Many kids who passed the 3rd grade test also went to these centers to pass the magnet test for Takoma park, Blair and RM. I know of kids who went there. Some of them passed some didn’t. There is always going to be some students who will not make it to ces, Blair, Harvard, MIT.. not all top students end up at these schools[/quote]

Pre-lottery, they had a 95% chance of NOT being left behind but with the lottery, it's the opposite which is to say not at all comparable.[/quote]
