[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are in a low-farms school, the scores needed to get into the lottery typically score are in the 92%-93% range. There are circumstances in which they also allow students with lower scores, like 78%+, into the lottery. My point is, it's a fairly large pool, and the odds are not great, even if you are the top math or English student in the county, that doesn't matter. It's a lottery.[/quote]

Yup. I would assume you will not get in and proceed accordingly. If you get a spot it will be a nice surprise. My kid had the highest MAP score their math teacher had ever seen, so they got into the pool but they didn’t get a spot. The magnet system is very frustrating. I actually don’t know anyone from our school who got a spot, though someone must have [/quote]

At least if your kid had a very high MAP-M score, they have options for enrichment in MS - e.g., Algebra 1 in 6th, math team.  I don't think there's any enrichment for high MAP-R scorers; they get the same crappy "Advanced English" that is not advanced.  Maybe those classes are cohorted at least?  Just another example of MCPS not valuing humanities, but don't get me started..... [/quote]

The social studies class is supposed to be the enriched one for the high MAP-R scorers.  A few schools offer it (HIGH) to everyone but it must be offered to kids in the lottery pool, and most schools do have a separate on-level social studies class for the other kids because HIGH has more reading and writing than the regular social studies classes.[/quote]
