[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether explicitly termed rank-ordering or not, that's what they were doing with the Metis-noted evaluations of the applications.  It may not be rank-ordering based on a single factor, like a MAP or CogAT score, but, instead, based on the overall profile.

Placing top-X-percenters in a lottery basiclly admits to the fact that there are about X percent that have a need.  Unfortunately, the lottery, itself, basically admits that they haven't planned or budgeted enough to meet the need.  Saying that a local school can meet the need with lesser enrichment than is available in a CES environment is intellectually dishonest -- MCPS need to expand the programs, either with more CES seats or with robust local GT programs that provide a truly equivalent experience.[/quote]

From what I've read usually G&T programs consist of the top 6% whereas MCPS programs have seats for 2%-3% so would agree the biggest issue is a lack of opportunity.[/quote]

Yes, CES and magnet schools are sub scale in size given how large the district is, and they are subscale in size due to how many out performers/over achievers there are. [/quote]
