[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]open up two more magnet programs then. not in east county. [/quote]

Yes. Open as many magnets as it takes for my kid to get in one, and make sure that it's convenient to my home.[/quote]

^^^to clarify -- I am not being sincere.[/quote]

200+ schools 160,000+ students and what teeny weeny portion is actual magnet seats in MS and in HS?

run the numbers for the NYC schools, bet its 5x as many seats for outstanding students than MCPS. That's a real shame. Underserved. [/quote]

12,000 5th graders in 2016-17, 375 (125 + 100 + 75 + 75) MS application magnet seats per grade, so just over 3%. What do you consider to be the appropriate percentage?[/quote]

I am sure the test cost MCPS a lot of money.  If they want to select top 3%, why did they recommend 4000, or 50% students of the down county students, to take the test?  MCPS leadership seems incompetent to identify talent and wasted a lot of money in the process of selecting students for the magnets. [/quote]
