High performers with 99th percentile IQ type scores (if you know) plus coming from a high performing school. Not worth it this year. You'd be better off at your home school with the other high performers who would have gotten in in previous years.

If you have a child who is a lower performer and got lucky in the lottery and your child is in a lower performing school you may want to consider.

Sounds like your child wasn't selected and trying to get off the WL. Magnet programs speak for themselves. Begone, sour grapes![/quote]

Nice try. DC is in magnet now in 8th. Not worth it for this year's cohort coming from a school with a good peer group. [/quote]

It seems like any kid with decent grades and 240/235 MAP-M/MAP-R respectively made the pool, but since selection wasn't based on scores this year fewer outliers will end up in these programs. Sure, these are great programs but it isn't going to be the same. [/quote]

Well, not exactly. Just heard a friend of mine complained over the weekend that her kid from cold spring CES got excluded from the "pool" with a MAP-R over 240 and MAP-M over 250.  [/quote]

That happens when there are other factors. For example, if the child had a few non-A's that's expected.[/quote]

They excluded as many people as thyey could based on non-As.  Really, that wasn't fair either because they excluded kids who had M for insufficient data during the pandemic and who had B because they were new to Eureka on 4th/5th instead of K and just solved the problem without the stupid model.

What it indicates to me is that there were separate pools based on each home school. There is no way of knowing for certain because MCPS lacks transparency, but that is the only thing that would make sense to me. Also, that they had to make the pools gender equal (50/50). [/quote]

There isn't enough information to draw that conclusion. I read earlier a kid with 244 got in from Chevy Chase. [/quote]
