[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a massive difference. I knew it was big but a child who is 93rd percentile in math is not at all the same as a child who is 60th percentile in math. I support a lot of what MCPS is trying to do with equity but a child who is 60th percentile in math does not need to be in a math magnet. [/quote]
I completely agree. 60th isn’t even ballpark.[/quote]

It just waters down the magnet and stresses out kids who are in no way prepared for them level of rigor. I mean these are kids who wouldn’t get into AIM at their home school but are expected to do even higher level math at the magnet? That is not serving anyone. [/quote]

FWIW my anxious kid with a 6th grade MAP in the 270s is finding it a challenge and is convinced most of the other kids are more advanced than they are. No evidence of kids out of their depth.[/quote]

Your child may have anxiety issues unrelated to math, since your child is already achieving most of the objectives of Algebra and Geometry.

Which part is challenging, the math or the computer science or some other part?

Math. Sounds like the teacher isn’t that great TBH, so my child hasn’t managed to follow everything..[/quote]
