[quote=Anonymous][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]
Then why not release the median test scores like they used to so that those tiger parents of students who didn't make it can see that their kids weren't that smart after all?

It would certainly bolster MCPS' position on the changes, pulling in missed qualified students, and hush up the naysayers.[/quote]

CogAt didn't provide numerical scores-- how can MCPS report the median? All we have is percentiles. Please explain how this would work. The media of percentile rank is statistically useless.[/quote]

So report the percentiles, would love to see how many admits scored 98/99 across the board. MAP scores would be immensely useful, too, but MCPS used to report the former at least. Why not this year? Let me think, let me think.[/quote]

Hey tigermom, Frankly, i am more concerned about the mental health of your child than supporting the appeasement of your demands. Mcps should put more work into screening and collecting data regarding that issue.[/quote]

There's no end to the wacky and baseless conspiracy theories.[/quote]
