[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe  test into EACH school you want is a solution for fairness- peer, cohort, race, curriculum...[/quote]

That is essentially what happens, but you have to "test in" (CogAT, MAP and grades) when compared to YOUR home middle school, not your CES class or  the county as a whole.

So, if your home middle school has a lot of students who are scoring in the 90th percentiles (nationally or MCPS) it takes a lot more to look like an outlier.   It really isn't as hard as people keep making it seem.

If there are already a lot of high performing kids at the middle school, the middle school the kids have a peer group and agree with it or not, the county has been very clear in saying they are looking to ensure high performing kids have a peer group... and they are using the magnets to provide a peer group for those who do not have one at their home school.  They haven't said the magnet is for the top xx kids at each school or the top xx kids in the county.
