The data also shows there are MANY more Asian and white kids who could thrive in a magnet environment. Why aren't we commissioning studies and changing policies to figure out a way to get more of them into the programs?[/quote]

In fact, the Metis study addressed that issue too.

Lots of kids would do well in the magnet programs So I don't understand why (some) people are having a hard time with the idea that there are black and Hispanic kids who are not in the magnet programs who would do well in the magnet programs.[/quote]
I think it shows that there are more Asian/white students who would do well in the program than [b]the other way[/b].  So, if they expanded the program, did the number of Asian/white kids go up, too?  Hard to say since McpS won't show the data or even what the median score of accepted students were so parents could figure out where their kid placed.[/quote]

What other way? That there is an excess of black and Hispanic kids in the magnet programs?[/quote]
