Since MCPS has done away with entry testing into the CES and magnets, MAP scores have become more important to determine in-pool eligibility. So that's one practical reason to have high scores if you're interested in those programs.

OP said their kid isn't interested. CES isn't just about high literacy. It's extremely intensified work (more than the middle school TPMS program is intensified for math/science.) Your child has to love reading and writing a lot, not just be highly able, or else they'll burn out in the class. [/quote]

I didn’t see that OP wrote that. And please, CES is easy. My kid didn’t find it intense at all. Just a little less mind-numbing. You really need to stop scaring people off. Some of us respond because our kids are older and we’ve been through this already.

If you had a CES student and a middle schooler, you'd know that CES is more intense than Advanced English in middle school. [/quote]

PP you replied to. My kids are in college and one is 13, taking classes in high school. Let me repeat: CES was easy. The usual advanced tracks in middle school, whether magnets or not, are easy. We’re far from the high magnets, and our high school offers a wide array of APs, so they didn’t apply to high school magnets. It doesn’t make any difference for college admissions anyway. What matters is taking the most advanced courses at your school and getting straight As (plus having incredible extracurriculars, which I find rather controversial since it reinjects inequity into the process, inequity they wanted to stamp out with test-optional practices, but that’s a topic for another day).

I am pushing back on this idea that the CES is hard. That’s all.
