My kid (of the above scores) isn’t on FARM but will attend a middle school with a high FARMs rates and lower test scores...so maybe it’s because of the cohort?[/quote]

DP -- cohort doesn't matter this year, according to communications from the MCPS office, although it certainly has in the past. As to the question above about why some high-scoring kids weren't in the pool -- in my kid's case (as I've posted before) it was because of "missing" grades on the report card.  I asked a couple of people in the MCPS offices pretty pointedly about whether there were other criteria for the pool this year beyond what they published (MAP, report card grades, reading levels) and was told that there weren't. There weren't actually that many reports here on DCUM of high-scoring kids who didn't end up in the pool (although only a few won the lottery for selection). Sounds like the PP's kid had a history of high MAP scores, and presumably high grades, and was therefore in the pool; once in the pool, it's just a lottery system without consideration of home school or cohorts.[/quote]

Cohort could have come into play if the cutoff scores to get into the lottery differed by sending school.  [/quote]
