MCPS didn't like the outcome of the existing process, so they changed it to a lottery to achieve an outcome they wanted.[/quote]

+1  The lottery was to ensure MCPS could weasel out of pending lawsuits.  I believe they were caught tampering with the admissions criteria of the 2020 class, which helped motivate moving towards a lottery system.  Can't claim its discrimination if it's a completely random selection.[/quote]

Based on the article, it looks like Montgomery county schools are not the place for highly talented anymore. I wonder why enrollments in MCPS schools are down this year. I guess people are going private schools. May be time to move to Virginia and pay our taxes there[/quote]
