It's also not fair that a highly able learner from a high FARMS school likely doesn't have the peer group to let the teacher get through base material and enrich/cover more content, likely doesn't have the parent time/access to outside tutoring to effect the same, and likely scores lower on a measure highly reliant on exposure to material like MAP as a result.  To keep the programs more concentrated, advocate for higher reliance on measures of ability vs. achievement and for guardrails against their being prone to gaming, along with a move back away from a lottery.  A high-ability 99th percentile MAPer would still get in.[/quote]

So MCPS places high FARMS school kids in the regional program because they do not have a local cohort. But MCPS sends a CES kid with 99th percentile to that same high FARMS school with no local cohort? How in the world is this fair?

No, it's a lottery. [/quote]

So no objective criteria is used. There is no transparency in the lottery process and I would say who ever is doing the lottery can and possibly will pick and drop the name again if they did not like the kids name. Given the low level of trust in the current leadership, What do you do then?[/quote]
