What do you base this on? MCPS says, "The students who will participate in the compacted curriculum are those who have consistently demonstrated proficiency of all grade-level indicators and acceleration opportunities."

That's the premise of the entire class.  That it is only for those students that learn the curriculum with more depth at a quicker rate, that can do all of the acceleration, that don't have a peer group, and who pass their countywide test to show that they think at a higher level.  It has always been stated that it is not just for kids that are doing just fine.  I don't think it matters whether the kids get ES's (since really that seems to depend on the teacher each year), but they are definitely not supposed to just be doing well enough to advance.[/quote]
