[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If this was what was done, which I think it was, then it wasn’t just separating the really high standard scores and inviting those students. MCPS looked holistically at students and their peer cohorts. If a kid was 150 in a school with a small group of 120s—then, yeah, he’s probably getting invited. If another kid is 150 with a large peer cohort in the 130s-140s—maybe not. If a third kid is a 150 with that same cohort of plenty of 140s and 150s but something stands out showing she is an outlier—maybe she gets selected.

The truth is there were kids from those schools with large peer cohorts who were invited. It just have been because they were outliers.[/quote][/quote]
Not necessarily. One of their goals was representation from every school or as many schools as possible so for the magnets they took at least one child from all feeders, for CES at least 2 but more likely 3-4 or more. 
They had several rounds of screening. They went back and made sure they had representation from all these schools and if there was on clear outlier they picked from the group of top performers.[/quote]

^^If there was NO clear outlier they picked from the top performers.[/quote]
