[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a group who is still grossly over-represented at the magnets like White or Asian seriously claim discrimination because the testing methodology changed in order to provide greater equity?[/quote] Depends on as compared to what? The demographics of kids in MCPS? The demographics of those tested? “High achievers” as defined by getting 5s on the PARCC? If you look at the PARCC, Asians are grossly underrepresented. Asians made up 37% of all those that scored 5 on PARCC Math. Yet 9 percent of those invited to the Takoma magnet are Asian. Asians made up 31% of all those that scored 5 on PARCC English. Yet only 10 percent of those invited to the Eastern magnet are Asian.[/quote]
