[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have it on good authority that the peer groups in the magnets this year are the strongest ever largely because of universal screening. In the past the only kids in the program were the ones whose parents recommended them and that bar was much lower.[/quote]

MCPS could easily confirm this by releasing admitted students' stats, no? Yet they won't. Why do you think that is?

Since the vast majority of the most competitive CES students were declined admission to the MS magnets, how could the new cohorts be as strong? They didn't have the advantage of the very advanced CES curriculum, so of course are well behind the students who did. MS magnet teachers will have to adjust accordingly.[/quote]

You don’t know that “the vast majority of the most competitive CES students were declined admission.”   You have no data and you’re just guessing based on your biases.[/quote]

2 students were admitted to MS magnets from the most competitive CES, Cold Spring (one to TP one to Eastern). 50+ returned to the home middle schools (Hoover, Frost, Cabin John), a few went private (I know 1 declined admission who is now attending St Albans). Chevy Chase CES had similar admission rates. How do you think they reached the 20 necessary for "peer cohorts"? [/quote]
