[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be petty. The high FARM schools are just 8 schools, and I guarantee the kids there are not up against your kids for the magnet spots.[/quote] High FARMS kids are absolutely competing against low FARMS kids for spots. If you want to call it a "competition" since it is now a lottery process. They are dumping everyone into a pool (to get into the pool those high farms kids need much lower scores). Though MCPS won't publish their secret sauce, those kids who qualify to be in the pool from high farms schools are going to be "weighted" in the lottery because they likely have no cohort at their receiving MS. The middle school magnet program mission has fundamentally changed since 2016ish. The magnets are there to serve above average kids with no learning cohort. They are not there to serve the "most-gifted" students.[/quote] Except they're not dumping everyone into a pool just the top 15%.[/quote]
