[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how big the lottery pools are for Takoma Park and Eastern? Our kid is in both pools, but was selected for neither. Just wondering how many kids are also still in the lottery pool/wait list.[/quote]

A friend of mine called AEI and they said they are not releasing this information at this time. I’m not sure why not.[/quote]
The refuse to release any information at all. Except generalities that people (mis)interpret. No one outside of MCPS can even say what “local norming” is or how they do it. [/quote]

I don't know if they have ever released this information.[/quote]
No one outside of MCPS knows if the lottery is weighted. No one outside of MCPS knows if there is one or multiple lottery pools for each CES.

They are very careful about the information that they release and the words that they use. It’s very easy for people to read them and infer things that MCPS has not said and will not confirm.

There is a separate question of whether it matters if the public should know, but certainly they are intentionally withholding this information. [/quote]

[b]Lack of transparency is most likely is due to corrupt practices?[/b] If there are misunderstanding, they can just do an FAQ. Not releasing data points to something that they want to hide[/quote]

Not likely. This board is crazy… just because something isn’t shared with you, you automatically assume it’s for nefarious reasons? :roll:
