I have no idea what you mean by "special" populations, but to get back on to why Baltimore is being sued and why comparing their system to MCPS is silly, to say the least, here is an elucidating tidbit about the lawsuit:

"The Patterns claim that the local education system has a record of poor academic performance, as well as a “pattern” of enrollment and grading scandals.

Marder noted that a recent Maryland state audit found that Baltimore schools had changed more than 12,500 students’ grades from “failing” to “passing” without any apparent reason or rationale."

I know of nothing like this going on at MCPS.

Something like this *could* happen in the near future if the stats keep tumbling downward while the push to increase minority rates in gifted and magnet programs becomes restive.

The pilot program to put everyone in honors classes this past freshman year will be something to keep on on for next year. If the results do not come out how people want them to be, will they manipulate the statistics to fit their expectation while hiding it from the public? If the graduation rates decline, will they suddenly start passing students with failing grades?

We'll find out. [/quote]
