[quote=Anonymous]Just to add an anecdote to the discussion upthread, I am a highly educated, middle class, native English speaker. When I heard about the CES program, I understood it to be for the "top 2-3 percent" of kids in MCPS. I absolutely did not think that my children were in the top 2-3 percent of kids in the district and might not have put them through the testing process. However, through bus stop and book club discussions, I saw kids who seemed a lot like my own get into both the HGC and middle school magnets. As did my kids. That's the power of being "in the know." It isn't just knowing that the program and test exists - it is knowing people who have been accepted and seeing what that looks like. [/quote]
