[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK so SSIM and Cabin John are about equal rather than SSIM being 2 ahead of Cabin John. SSIM is still good. Is anyone wondering though with this data how the cohort criteria makes any sense. MCPS said that schools with more than 20 cohorts had very few admits because they had a cohort at their home school. There are no schools with fewer than 20 cohort kids. What gives? [/quote] It is curious. The other thing that springs to mind is if there are that many high-performing kids they seriously need to add more magnets or beef up the enriched classes.[/quote] Also what is “highly able” per MCPS. I would argue that to be a good candidate for the Magnet programs you should be in the 95th percentile for at least two of the COGAT tests. Admitting students who are in the 85th percentile risks the integrity of the program. The bar should of course be lower for the enriched classes. [/quote]
