It is evidence that MCPS was not happy that the 4th/5th grade HGCs were full of Asian Americans and not enough Hispanic and African Americans. That was (and is) the achievement gap that MCPS is trying to close by rename the HGC to CES and adding the cohort criteria.

It is evidence that MCPS was not happy that the middle school magnet at Eastern and TPMS were full of Asian Americans and not enough Hispanic and African Americans. That was (and is) the achievement gap that MCPS is trying to close by adding the cohort criteria.

Eventually, Blair SMAC selection criteria will be changed too to "close the achievement gap"...

Eventually, there will be no more Regeneron Finalist from MCPS...[/quote]

So you’re saying non Asian kids are incapable of high achievement because they’re inherently not as smart as Asians? OK, racist. [/quote]

The problem with URM and achievement gap is not that these students are not represented in magnets. It is that they are severely lagging  behind and below grade level.  Changing magnet criteria does not change anything.  In fact, I predict that the academic achievement gap is now becoming a chasm that will never be closed.  The repercussions in employment is going to be huge because what we are doing is marring everything with racial politics.  [/quote]
