[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got the letter today. DD was placed in the humanities magnet and met criteria for math but not placed. Fall MAP scores were as follows Map-R 245, Map-m 237. Need to accept or decline by Feb 3rd. [/quote]

Those are low scores - is she at a high poverty school?[/quote]

Nope, CES program at Chevy chase. Map-R is 99th percentile and map-m 97th.  Not sure why you think that is low? These are fall scores btw. [/quote]
My daughter is also in CES and her score were 260 in map M and always got 100% in math but was not offered a spot which is strange I appeal it bcoz that’s totally wrong for the kids who really deserve our home school is really bad performing below average so I she is disheartened that low score students are getting the seat but kids who deserve didn’t. It’s a shame on system. [/quote]

You seem to be confused about how the magnet programs and the lottery work.  They are not designed to serve only the very top kids-- they're for a randomized group of above-average kids.  There's nothing to appeal because they are not deciding the spots based on merit/scores (besides having to clear the bar to get into the lottery.)[/quote]
