[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought there would be an an opportunity to appeal if not selected to the lottery? And then the lottery? So they just skipped ahead and did the whole thing at once?

We are discussing the magnet/criteria MS… Eastern/Takoma Park and Clemente/MLK[/quote]

You can't appeal the results. You can only appeal their decision to include you in the pool.[/quote]

That’s why MCPS loves this new process. No one can appeal or
Contest there choices…they will just say “it’s a lottery.”[/quote]

Yeah - this seems to be the thing full stop.

Definitely disappointing to know that out 5th grader would (almost certainly) have qualified with higher standards (based on our experience with two kids in MCPS CES/Magnets) but just didn’t get lucky. Seems to me pretty certain to result in more kids struggling in the magnets while others who could have excelled there lose interest in their classwork. Hopefully students with the opportunity will excel but it is really hard to see how this will lead to better results for most students (and I don't have much interest in prioritizing making things easier for MCPS).
