Based on just the posts from here alone.  But, let's take an informal poll here.  Which schools have way more kids now in CM than two years ago?

I'll start.  Ritchie Park.

And also, explain to me why HGC testing was changed?  As stated before, I think it was due to [b]the Metis report which focused on closing the achievement gap[/b].  Explain to me why else they would've changed the testing and why more kids are in CM than before?[/quote]

The Metis report did not focus on closing the achievement gap. The Metis report was study of the choice and special programs in MCPS, commissioned "to analyze how well choice and special academic programs are positioned to advance MCPS’ mission, core purpose, and core values and to recommend ways the district can improve these programs."

Yes, the testing for the application magnet program for elementary schools was changed because of the recommendations of the Metis report. You can read about it here:  http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/ALXLAU4F2C1A/$file/Choice%20Study%20Update.pdf[/quote]
