Can you cite any data to conclude that this year's class is much different from previous years? If anything, in previous years, the cutoff was 95 percentile on MAP-M and the self-reported scores put the cutoff this year at 98 percentile. One would infer from the self-reported data here on DCUM that this year's class is higher caliber.

I don't think there's a big difference between 95% and 98%, but I also don't care about the brand name or whatever the pp is talking about. I just care that my child is challenged by the curriculum and taught well. If not at a magnet middle, then hopefully though the enriched curriculum at the home middle school. Just sayin'[/quote]

I think those statistics are misleading. The cutoff wasn't 95% just that the majority were in the top 5%. They could've been in the top 1% they didn't tell us. What we know is this year that the kids with the top scores weren't selected since selection was random.[/quote]
