[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering space limitations, MCPS's magnet admissions seems reasonable. Students testing above 80th percentile are highly able, and they are entered in the lottery. MCPS should also expand accelerated programs, and should have accelerated programs in 2nd and 3rd grade as well. My 2nd grader is 99 percentile and very bored in class which is too repetitive and unchallenging.[/quote] And the odds are that your 99 percentile kid won’t be selected in the lottery and will be bored at their home school through 5th and if not until 9th. Also, the “space limitation” is unjustified rationing. It incurs no additional cost, or if any it’s marginal at best, to open more CES or MS application magnet programs. [/quote] That's why I said they should expand the accelerated programs. Maybe reshuffle or add teachers to make it happen.[/quote]
