[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has been changed since last year ?

My DC (Asian lives in W school area fortunately !) was accepted by TPMS Magent.

There was no 99% or something like that in the test score --but the median accepted students test score and my DC's was well above those in SCAT and Raven but a bit below on reading.

At the open house I saw majority of the accepted students' parents were Asians

I have three kids but only one got in, obviously the highest academic achiever.

I don't believe MCPS is not selecting the highest achievers.

Someone mentioned kids with MAP score 250/260 got rejected.   I am not sure this score is for reading or for math.  I even don't know MAP is considered for the selection process.  Even it is -- mine got a few points shy from 300 in Math.

TPMS Magnet accepts a lot high achievers (testing or class work etc)   I don't believe MCPS has the ability to close this gap (I even don't believe MCPS has the intention of doing that) because these kids are bright and they work hard and they are competitive.  With or without the magnet (wherever they attend schools) they will just be doing fine

There is a big change this year with the selection process, including the name of the program. No longer HGT.  TPMS and Eastern both first to experiment this selection process.[/quote]
