[quote=Anonymous]I can't understand why MCPS doesn't just give a big score boost to any kid on FARMS. All the new cohort criteria did was reduce asian kids to benefit UMC white kids. You can live on the cheaper side of Kensington that feeds Einstein, you can even send your kids to private school for K-8, ace the magnet test and get an easier admit because you are from a low performing school cluster. This kid no longer has to compete with the top asian kids from the west. They skate right in. The FARMS kids in the same lower performing cluster with the same IQ and same potential but who could not afford private school, enrichment or prep don't come close to scoring as high as the UMC kids in the low performing cluster. Unless the goal is to give a cookie and easy pass to rich white people that live in less expensive areas and crew asians, the new cohort didn't accomplish anything other than generating legal fees.
