[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools tested students and sent the data in to MCPS.  MCPS ran all the data and determined benchmark scores based on all of the students tested.  That is the information that went back to schools last week.  Schools now have to use the benchmark scores along with three other criteria to determine who will be in their compacted classes.  That is why parents haven't been notified yet--the schools use those scores as just one piece of the data to make the decisions.  Parents will have the ability to say they do not want their children in the compacted class if they so choose.[/quote]
What are those three other criteria?

I think that this may vary by school.  Our school had everything ready before they received the benchmarks.  Once they received the benchmarks they could immediately tell parents whether their children would be in the compacted curriculum.

Our school didn't test everyone.  After testing, the teachers gave their recs to the principal.  The school then waited until they received guidance from MCPS (which they received on Tuesday). Based on this guidance they were immediately able to tell which students made the cut-off.  [/quote]\

It doesn't vary by school.  The 4 criteria are the same at every school.  It's possible a school could have had everything ready, because the benchmark scores are the only piece that come from central office.[/quote]

Sorry I didn't mean tha tthe criteria varied- only that our school had everything else ready so they were only waiting on the benchmark scores.  Since they received them, they now know which students qualified.  [/quote]
