[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent with no HS kid wants to ask a question: this year does the HS magnet also uses similar SES cohort criteria as what MS magnet admission uses? [/quote] No, because the middle-school magnet admissions process doesn't use a student's family's socioeconomic status. How could they? MCPS doesn't have the data about that.[/quote] Central Office knows everything :wink: For ES and MS magnets, central office uses farm rate to separate schools into high, mid and low-SES groups, and each student is compared with only students in the same SES category. In addition, FARM, ESOL and special education are also considered for each individual student. I know HS magnet is merit based up till last year but no idea what has been changed this year since this is the first year central office administers the entire HS magnet admission process. [/quote]
