[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just found out that a kid who stayed back at the local ES and had decent scores, but not nearly as high as my CES kid (about 20 point MAP-M difference, lower CogAT), got accepted to TPMS.  There are other kids in my DC's CES who had the same or similar scores to the local kid (so other student at CES may be in "cohort" with local kid), so I really want to know why that kid was sent to the magnet as an "outlier," but my kid, who was an outlier among the [b]CES kids heading to the same middle school[/b], was not?

No one will provide data on how "cohort" was defined for students presumably denied entry to any CES, who were recommended for local magnets, and presumably were rejected for that reason.[/quote]

Your brilliant kid who got into the CES but didn't get into TPMS, and that other dumb kid who didn't get into the CES but did get into TPMS, presumably have the same home middle school. That's how cohort was defined - by home middle school.

Do you get to find out why that other dumb kid got in but your kid didn't? No, you do not.[/quote]
