[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^If you have your heart set on a MS magnet I do think at least this year it was easier to get in from the non-CES schools. They tried to include a few from each elementary so if your child is the top at his home school it seems like she or he got in. At the CES, top kids were waitlisted left and right and according to DC's friends some of the non-CES kids scored lower than some CES kids.

Those higher scoring CES kids did get off the wait list later.[/quote]

They compared CES kids to other kids from their home elementary, not the CES class, and were looking at the cohort available in their home MS. CES does not change whether or not you get into MS magnets.[/quote]

You are very wrong.

They compared kids to their home middle school. But there was an extra layer of selection where they tried to make sure every elementary was included. This is why you would see kids with much lower scores get in if they were the top kids at their home middle school. Competition to get from the CES was crazy. Shocked certain kids (not DC) did not get during the first round.[/quote]
