[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lottery results will be coming out any day now. If you’re not at a MCPS feeder school then it’s likely too late for the 25/26 school year as the lottery has already happened, they just have to send out results.

Adding that the way they do the lottery means that many many many kids who would be better served by the CES will not get a slot. I personally think they need to go back to using the CoGAT and recommendations for admission but that was seemed inequitable (and COVID made administering the CoGAT hard). Right now the fact that you could be at a 97th percentile and not even make it in the lottery (because “local norming”) while someone at the 80th percentile at another school could get a slot is just not serving gifted kids.

Oh calm down with your victimhood.  We’re talking about a broader range for assessing giftedness in young kids rather than a narrow band of standardized tests scores to the exclusion of certain schools.

Furthermore, a lot of parents in good elementary schools would rather keep their kids nearby than send them to CCES so they’re not commuting long distances and because their home school ES teachers are empowered to do some differentiation. [/quote]

And for the parents who choose to keep their kids at the home school, all the power to them.  That doesn’t mean that the choice should be taken away from the people who would prefer CES.[/quote]
