[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is exactly why they did it this way.. so the kids on the eastern side don't have to compete so much with the kids from the western side. And it does indeed lower the threshold since those kids are not having to compete with kids who typically score higher.[/quote]

Right, which is 100% reasonable when you have a program with regional centers that is serving kids who are 9 - 11.

Yes, the threshold for getting into Pine Crest may be slightly lower than the threshold for getting into Cold Spring. But...why do you care? There are regional centers because MCPS recognizes that the CES programs should not have kids bussing all over the county the way middle school magnets do. Because MCPS is badly segregated, that will mean that programs that serve poorer kids have a (slightly) different threshold for admissions than programs in the richer parts of the county.

That's entirely normal and reasonable. [/quote]

Some parents mistakenly believe that higher property taxes entitles them to better public schools.[/quote]
