[quote=Anonymous]MCPS takes kids into the HGC that are above or below the median scores. A low bar entrance test lumps the wheat with the chafe and gives the administration the flexibility of using parent recommendation, school recommendation, teacher recommendation and report card (really proportion of ES asigned or proportion of P to ES) to target the kids they prefer -- particular those on the bubble. This is not rocket science. It's how the process has always worked. A normed, rigorous and well above grade level entrance exam would expose the selection process for the very few seats. Of course, I think there are many kids who are deserving of enriched and accelerated education but if the County chooses to have a select few HGC seats their entrance exam should be normed, valid and more rigorous.[/quote]
