[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]There is no proof anyone has been discriminated against based on zip code. [/b] The median quantitative score for TPMS is 99th percentile, which sounds like they've managed to identify a group of students who can handle a STEM magnet. That is the goal of the selection process. There are only enough magnet slots for 3% of middle school students county wide. Do you think fewer than 3% of the students in your zip code were admitted? I'm not suggesting there was an effort to spread admissions evenly across the district, my guess is the wealthier zips are still over represented.[/quote] Nobody who bought in Bethesda or Potomac "for the schools" should be complaining about discrimination based on zip code. Discrimination based on zip code is a feature, not a bug, of the so-called W schools.[/quote]
