[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - My kid got it at the end of her test and just showed me.

We are in a W feeder school so I'm guessing it's going to be unlikely that my kid gets into a magnet MS.[/quote]

If you're not at a CES even if you're at a W-feeder school, that increases your chance vastly.[/quote]

This is not true. I think what you are trying to claim is that if you are not at a school that houses a CES.[/quote]

This is absolutely true.  We know of twins.  One (female) at their local school and one (male) at a CES.  The one at the CES had higher schools on all tests, grades, etc and did not get in while the one at the local school did.  Both would have gone to the same middle school.  [/quote]

You don’t seem to understand. If the twins were at the SAME school and one was in the CES and the other was not you’d be able to compare. But it sounds like they were at different schools with different feeder patterns and different demographics. So you are wrong. [/quote]

I think you are the one who is confused. They use the home middle school to compare so they would have been ranked on the same "list." The things that are different are gender and the fact they wanted to take kids from every elementary. She must have been one of the top scorers in her elementary. The admits from our home school were kids who just missed CES admission (wait listed) or turned down the CES (but admitted) for 4th/5th.[/quote]

Look, lady, tell me how two kids would fare with the same scores at the same school where one is in the CES program and the other is not. That’s the only way to compare to see if the CES makes a difference. My own kid was not in the CES and he scored higher than other kids who were AT THE SAME SCHOOL as him and WERE IN THE CES. He got in because his scores were higher not because he wasn’t in the CES.[/quote]

You know all scores of all the kids in the CES? Your child wasn't in the CES but somehow your child magically knows this?[/quote]

My kid took 5/6 math with most of the CES kids. He and another kid were the strongest in math by a lot. True outliers. They both got in. No one else did. It worked like it was meant to. The other kid was in the CES. All the other CES kids didn’t get in.[/quote]
