[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you even talking about? My child has not shown me the list but mentioned a bunch of friends who got in over dinner. I know these kids and DC has said for 2.5 years they are all the top students with 300+ MAP scores.[/quote]

The top mostly Asian 300+ students have got in. Agree. Seems though that the bar for Asian kids is 300+ while the bar for others is much lower. [/quote]
And? It's a county-wide program so they need to take students from other middle schools, not just TPMS . And I bet you Asian kids from North Bethesda MS or Julius West MS have a much lower bar, too. [/quote]

NP. I don't think they are supposed to take school into account for HS but I'm not sure. I'm not surprised a lot of kids got in from TPMS. This is an unusual class because it may be one of two grades that got into the MS magnets through universal selection and not a lottery or application. You'd expect that process to concentrate a lot of the top students at TPMS. I think next year they may have kids coming from more middle schools.

PP one possibility is there were a lot of highly qualified kids around the same range in terms of scores and grades at TPMS applying and they tried to create a diverse class based on the essays. I don't mean diverse necessarily in terms of race but of background and interests and there may be a race or ethnic correlation.[/quote]

Even at the time 3 years ago, I wasn’t convinced that they got all the best students. But sure, they are definitely better than their lottery fellows at magnet.[/quote]
