[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, in response to a public records request, MCPS published a spread sheet that showed all the Middle Schools in the pilot area, with the number of kids who qualified under each criteria - Cogat (broken down by section) MAP tests, and PARCC.

Based on the numbers of kids in our home middle school in the enriched classes, if you qualified under any single criteria, you got placed into the enriched class.  All bright kids, but there's a big spread in abilities in the enriched classes.[/quote]

Do you mind posting the spreadsheet/link?  What is a qualifier for any single criteria? [/quote]

Here's the link, but there's no information for the cutoff for the criteria: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/msmagnet/about/MS%20Magnet%20Field%20Test%20Data%20by%20Sending%20MS.pdf[/quote]

[b]I'm surprised to see Tilden[/b] has one of the lower numbers. I thought Tilden is a good school. Does that mean it doesn't have a strong cohort as other schools that have high numbers?[/quote]
Me, too! Tilden is our home MS; my child was rejected from CES with 99% CogAt last year.  According to my DC, when kids compared scores, a lot of children claimed to have scored 98-99%. Not sure how accurate that self-reported data was :lol: , but ours is a very good elementary with great PARCC scores, so, at least at the elementary level, there are plenty of 'high-achievers'.

FWIW, I know two kids who were admitted to magnets last year, one from a CES, another straight from our elementary. Whether or not that means 'the absence of the cohort' at Tilden, I don't know.[/quote]
