[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PARC is a state-mandated test that measures minimal competency. Results are shown as a percentage of students who show that competency as in pass or fail. It is hardly a measure of giftedness.[/quote] It does measure competence which is also required to succeed in a rigorous Magnet program. The number of students who “exceed expectations “ is relatively low (around 10%) so it cannot be a super easy test. [/quote] Exactly, PARC measures minimal competence and is scored as pass or fail. This is hardly a measure of giftedness, nor an issue for the top 1% of students in the county who attend the magnets.[/quote] True but it does give a sense of how many children have the basic skill set. It is too bad MCPS is not providing Magnet test results this year for the first time. That would be more helpful [/quote]
