[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, this lottery process really sucks and I am so disgusted with MCPS for this. Unfortunately, we have no charter schools and private is too expensive. Our DC did not get into the magnets last year and was waitlisted as well. DC has no peers in the local MS that are interested in things like robotics/programming and receives no real enrichment to speak off. Highly qualified kids who would have thrived at these magnets are essentially being overlooked by MCPS and their lack of transparency speaks volumes to how poorly managed this whole thing is.

I am glad they have not made the HS magnets lottery based yet. I am afraid that its simply a matter of time before MCPS messes that up as well.[/quote]

I highly doubt your child has no smart peers.[/quote]

MCPS is completely transparent about this. The problem is its a random lottery that doesn't serve anyone.[/quote]

Please show us official language from MCPS that says it uses a RANDOM lottery system.[/quote]

In article regarding the lawsuit against MCPS, that appeared in Bethesda Beat,

[quote]"MCPS stopped administering the test used to identify “highly able” students and[b] implemented a lottery, or random selection, [/b]into its process, the filing says."

“In light of these changes to the screening and selection process, the old process Plaintiff challenges no longer exists,” MCPS wrote.[/quote]
