[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid scored a 234 on Reading. Lexile level 1245L–1395LL. Our home is in bounds for a Title 1 school, but he's been attending a small private. Excellent student. He was not even selected for the CES lottery, and we are shocked. 99th percentile in reading, 98th in math. He's white, though it seems from this thread that's not a factor. We suppose and imagine the county assumes he's doing fine in private, but private doesn't equal accelerated. I wish I better understood the logic and wasn't simply guessing. [/quote]

This seems wrong. It's really unethical and disgusting MCPS isn't releasing more information. It's possible they normed the private school kids against each other.
I know in Fairfax they did something in the way they admit that reduced the number of private school admissions to the TJ magnet really dramatically. I don't recall what but my guess is applicants from private are overwhelmingly white/Asian and higher income which is what they do not want.[/quote]
