[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need the assigned middle school? It's really spread out this year and releasing that information would be a violation of privacy for much of the student population since it could easily lead to student/score discovery.
Then again, this is about you and your "sour grapes"--not the process.[/quote]
DP.. don't need the assigned MS  information. All they have to do is release the median scores of accepted students, like they used to do.  Why did they stop releasing these test scores?

More than likely, it was because it become obvious that some students who were not admitted because of "peer cohort" scored much higher than the admitted students without peer cohort.

Using peer cohort was the only way to increase other groups. No one is against universal screening. It's the peer cohort nonsense that some people are upset about.

No dog in this fight. My DC#1 already went through HGC and opted out of MS magnet due to the long commute.  I knew DC#2 was not qualified for magnet.

As the teacher in the article stated, the peer group now in those magnets are not as high achieving so they are going to have to lower the expectations now. Shame.[/quote]

I like how MCPS is reducing the need to buy in to a cohort.[/quote]
