[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CES no longer takes the top 2-3%.  They take the kids who don't have a high scoring cohort at their home school.  That means some 99% kids stay at their home school while some 92% kids at a different school get the CES invite.  There are many threads discussing this, here just trying to get correct current info to OP.[/quote]

[b]There's no evidence to support this fringe theory. [/b]It is mostly embraced by people who resent changes like universal screening because it grew the application pool and made admission much more difficult.[/quote]

Oh, FFS.  Were you actually AT the MS Magnet meetings?  They specifically SAID that this was the case.  They did this on purpose.  Whether you agree with it or not, or think it's a good idea, is up for debate.

It is NOT up for debate that MCPS admitted lower percentile kids from lower performing kids, in order to give them a chance at a better/more challenging learning environment. [/quote]

Yes, I went to all of them, and nothing of this sort was stated. MPCS picked the most promising students based on the information they had end of story. [/quote]

Are you a troll?  [b]There is a current US investigation of MCPS because MCPS did not pick in order of test scores.[/b][/quote]

Uh, no, there isn't. They are investigating "complaints from Asian American parents that the new process unlawfully uses race as a factor and discriminates against their children."

Sorry, I insulted trolls.  You're just new to this topic.  There are many long threads on the changes to CES and MS magnet admissions. [/quote]

I'm well aware of the many threads. But your characterization of the civil rights investigation is inaccurate. [/quote]
