The new TPMS class did not end up with significantly more URM students.  There are fewer Asian students, who are now held back with artificial restrictions based on their home school district.  Their spots are taken up by top students in the previously less represented school districts who have somewhat lower scores than rejected W-based Asian students.  The accepted students are overwhelmingly white.  So you have a less prepared class with fewer Asians and more whites, with a broader countywide geographic diversity.  How exactly this is better has not been explained.

Short of instituting direct racial quotas, MCPS will not be able to achieve their goal of making magnet education available to URM students.[/quote]

The school district is Montgomery County Public Schools.

The average test score for a school tells you nothing about an individual student's test score. That's basic statistics.

And the majority of Asian-American students in the downcounty are zoned for schools that are not in Bethesda and Potomac.[/quote]
