[quote=Anonymous][quote]If MCPS would just publish their accepted student Median score as they used to, people will believe you more on this. As it is all we hear is that the magnet program now has more diversity in abilities now. What conclusion should we make?[/quote] Test scores don’t necessarily indicate which students are most in need of the magnet programs, especially when some students have prepped to varying degrees for the test and some have done no prep at all. The scores are simply not as useful or reliable in terms of indicating ability or potential on the part of students when those evaluating the scores do not know whether and how much any particular child has been prepped in advance for the test. It’s good that MCPS does not rely exclusively on test scores to make these decisions and takes other information into account. [/quote]
