[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were there kids who scored in the 99th percentile within MCPS (vs 99 percentile nationally). Who didn’t get in the magnets? I don’t remember anyone like that posting when the results come out, but of course that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. [/quote] Yes absolutely. My kid was at a regional CES and there were only 8 kid admitted across all three CES classes. There were many really high scoring kids who did not get into the Magnet MS. MCPS changed the MS Magnets around last year. Instead of pulling just the highest scoring kids, they took lower scoring students who scored high relative to others at their lower performing schools. In other words, a kid with an 89%ile score at a lower performing school would get in over a 99%ile kid at a school with lots of 99%ile kids. [/quote] That’s being equitable.[/quote]
