[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hang on, the presentation references CES. I asked about middle school magnets and 70 percent is not correct. They have not shared any different cut off re MS.[/quote]

It only mentions the 70th specifically as the adjustment for CES, but look at the slides.

The MS magnets are referenced, too.  Page 24 for Humanities and 25 for Math.  These follow almost the exact same pattern as the CES slides, saying they "have a different local norm applied."

The prior one about CES on page 13 doesn't reference the specific number, but says, "a different local norm is applied" and has a bullet about other exceptions (private schooled or missing data).  Then there are the talking points on page 14, then back to almost the identical slide on page 15, except this time the 70th percentile is mentioned.

They [i]might[/i] employ a different local norm than the 70th percentile for the MS programs, but the criteria they put together for all these is so similar that I'd bet they went with 70th across the board.  In the absence of MCPS posting a proper clarification with unambiguous numbers, that explanation is the leader in the clubhouse.[/quote]

Nope. Not for middle school.[/quote]
