[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] MCPS has long admitted that they weight magnet admissions geographically so some kids from every school get into the magnet. This approach is 100% legal since it is not race-based even though it ends up being somewhat of a proxy for race. People have to acknowledge that the top 2% from years past isn’t necessarily reflective of the truly brightest in the county. There are many factors of the previous admissions process that weigh in favor of privileged kids and against minorities, including test scores. Test scores are not privilege-neutral selectors. [/quote] People evidently do not have to acknowledge this, at least judging from the large number of posts over the last few years that have insisted the contrary.[/quote]
