[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that whoever make the criteria lottery threshold mostly do well academically l in CES or magnet school. It does not matter if they just met the minimum score threshold or 99 %. So, those just met the minimum score threshold prove that they have potential to grow further. [/quote]

Sure but I have a consistently 99th percentile kid (was told by one teacher that they had the highest MAP score they had ever seen) and a 95th percentile kid. They are both smart and could do fine in a magnet program. However, the 99th percentile kid is really poorly served by the current state of “enrichment” at our home school. The other one is fine, a little bored sometimes but fine. So it really depends if you care at all about whether the kid can be decently served at their home school (that’s relatively speaking of course, no smart kid is really that well served by MCPS but agree with the posters above they do not care at all about advanced kids or their parents anger). I honestly don’t know what we are going to do. I don’t know of a private that’s going to be a better fit for my 99th percentile kid either. [/quote]
