Possibly.  It would be easy to determine if they hadn’t quit publishing that information.  I wonder why they did that.[/quote]

This isn't enough information for you?

The data in this report although interesting doesn’t show that standards have declined. It doesn’t provide details comparing current with past years. You’re making assumptions for which you have no supporting evidence. [/quote]

[b]My suspicious side tells me that MCPS would have gleefully trumpeted the scores had they indeed gone up or stayed the same.  The fact that they didn't publish them per center anymore and started reporting them in a much less granular form suggests that they did not in fact go up or stay the same.  That's not proof though.  I'll be interested to see what data comes out during the trial.[/quote][/b]

My instinct tells me MCPS stopped reported the mean scores for many reasons, some may be:
- they used MCPS percentiles for CogAT that were adjusted based on the ES a student attended, the mean scores would include percentiles created from different norming groups
-to try to help the community understand that "the Test" is only [b]ONE[/b] piece of data considered during the selection process and that "the Test" score reflects a moment in time
-to attempt to avoid the comparisons parents insist on making between programs 
-The numbers can be deceiving:  Since students can be selected for both programs, the invited student mean would include the scores of some students for both programs, the mean of students accepting the invitation is different from that of those invited, and the waitpool is full of students who were in a sense "selected" but not able to attend b/c of space, so how should those scores be reflected in a mean?[/quote]
