[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a 4 year old thread. [/quote]

Noting for the record that FOUR YEARS AGO folks were claiming that changes were coming to high school admissions, based on rumours, and that change never arrived. [/quote]

Luckily it was not, because magnet MS programs have been destroyed significantly (checking back next year for math/national history/short documentary/science bowl competition results because next year the entire MS magnet program will be consists of lottery kids). CES stays less harmed because of the relative homogeneity of the catchment area. [/quote]

For what it is worth, people claimed universal screening and localized norming was going to destroy the magnets as well. TPMS did very well this year in math competitions, while Eastern MS had the highest number of C-SPAN winners in years. https://www2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/easternms/news-index/easterns-2023-c-span-studentcam-winners/[/quote]

I don't think that's the impression to me. The universal screening still uses CoGAT on top of MAP, and it's still merit based. The current 8th graders experienced universal screening and still have CoGAT as the criteria. So it doesn't change too much of the quality of the student body. The lottery is the tipping point. Check back this thread next year around this time.[/quote]
