PP you replied to. I've been following this process closely for many years. The reason no one complained before is because so few families actually KNEW about it, because parents had to apply for their kids, so first they had to be informed enough, and most weren't. Sad, isn't it? I actually prefer the new process, which automatically tests kids without waiting for their parents to send an application. But the new process has this "peer cohort" criteria that was deliberately added to allow MCPS to cherry-pick candidates in an effort to reduce what they perceive to be the achievement gap. I have grave reservations that it can be addressed in that way.

It was deliberately added so that kids whose needs can't be met at the home middle school, because there's no peer cohort, can go to the magnet school.[/quote]

What if they went with top X percent overall, plus top X percent in each school?  That would hit the kids without a peer cohort without penalizing kids at high performing schools.  Of course, you still have to decide what X is and how you measure it...[/quote]
