[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can call AEI for median percentiles for pool, and median for accepted students at each program.  I was trying to get Cogat scores for an application to another program, but they would not release over the phone.

Median percentiles of accepted students for TPMS are:
 
V:  97
Q:  99
NV:97
Composite: 99

So can I infer that those straight 99% with high MAP and PARCC scores HGC students are rejected solely because that they have a "peer group" in their home school now? Any logic flaw?[/quote]

Folks at these 'peer group' middle schools should start advocating for mini magnets similar to the home school CSS that was rolled out this year. And kids won't have to decide between humanities/stem programming.[/quote]

Yes, agreed. But there's a rock/hard place argument - if the county does this, then you won't get the white kids into historically underserved areas, which was the whole purpose of the magnet program when it began, and desegregation become a historic artifact.[/quote]

Right, but it seems as though one side effect of this new evaluation system is that more lower income, URM kids will end up in the magnet program. Not a bad thing, IMO, but it does likely leave a bunch of smart kids underserved at their home schools. Really, the best answer seems to be to expand tracking in classes, so even if a kid doesn't make the cut for the magnet program, he/she will still be able to have accelerated/enriched instruction for most, if not all, of ES and MS.
