[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put a different way, if you use the numbers above as very rough estimates given the lack of any real data, a "highly able" child in the CCES area would have a 25% chance of getting into a CES. A "highly able" child in the Barnsley area would have almost a 100% chance.[/quote]

Does anyone know how many WJ-cluster kids were selected for the CES for fall 2017 (Barnsley) v 2018 (CCES)?  There's no question that if the only change between the two years (beyond the selection criteria) is that the WJ cluster moved to CCES, which added a class, that the students in the remaining ES' had a better chance of being selected to the Barnsley CES; same number of spots, but no WJ cluster ES.  If MoCo thought that would improve the odds for the remaining ES', no doubt it worked.  That doesn't mean the opposite is true - that if you were in a WJ-cluster ES, your chances went down, unless the number really changed.  And if that happened, then its some combination of the change in regional CES and the selection criteria.

There's no question the MoCo is trying to diversify the magnets, and it really had an effect at the MS magnets, at least according to our DC's CES principal.  Many CES students used to be accepted from that school; barely any for fall 2018, at least from that school.  Not clear what the peer cohort criteria is doing at the regional CES level. At our DC's ES, it certainly did not appear to affect the demographics at all.[/quote]
