[quote=Anonymous]I am seriously curious about how MCPS "separating the highly intelligent children who excel without the benefit of tutors, kumon, ssat and magnet prep courses"? just looking at their cohort?

Does that means all kids who has a large cohort at home MS do great because of extra prep? that sounds like quite a unfair generalization IMO. So kids should be negative impacted just because their parents have successful career?

and who has the means to "get their children the right classes and teachers in elementary school"? as far as I know MCPS does not allow parents picking teachers or classroom.

+1 in addition to parcc scores, there are report card grades, district assetments, cohort studies, cogat (both national and mcps percentiles), several years worth of maps scores, in all honesty it's the whole package, mcps is looking for a well rounded kid with consistent high scores to accept into the middle school magnet program.

I can understand the rest of items above pointing to a well rounded child but how do Cohort studies factor in? Isn't that just a wiggle room for them to pick for diversity?[/quote] no more like separating the highly intelligent children who excel without the benefit of tutors, kumon, ssat and magnet prep courses at 1k a pop or families with personal and professional means to get their children the right classes and teachers in elementary school.[/quote]

Isn't that just an assumption here, that the kids who did not get picked had the benefit of all those? What if a kid who studied hard to be 'better' rounded than the ones who were picked only for cohort reasons?[/quote][/quote]
