[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think W feeders has higher cut off than the rest. Just the pool of qualified kids is larger. [/quote]

If thats true then I don’t understand why he didn’t qualify if the map r is above 85th percentile??[/quote]

For low farms schools, the top 15% is apparently around 95% or higher. 
For moderate low farms schools, it's around 92%.
For high farms schools, it's around 60%, with more in between. 
MCPS documents with the exact numbers have been linked here in the not-too-distant past.

You're talking about middle school magnet cutoffs, not CES norms.[/quote]

Nope I'm talking about CES cutoffs. A document containing them was posted here based on FARMS rate a month or two ago.[/quote]

If you're talking about this thread, it's middle school magnet info. The cutoff for moderate low FARMs schools was 92nd percentile.

I'm not reading through that, but the post that I'm referring to included data for both CES and middle schools in the documents that were linked. It's also possible. I found that in the freedom of information request that was posted in the MCC PTA group on Facebook.[/quote]

Here's a link to the document from the FB MCCPTA group that got this info from a FOIA.

This shows the actual ES percentiles by FARMS rate.

Thanks PP.  This is helpful, but is from last year and the year before.  The actual cut offs may change because it sounds like they figure the local norms every year.  I guess a school’s status might change too if the FARMS numbers changed.    [/quote]

I would assume that's true as well. I also get the sense that they've been improving the process since the first year but it's mostly anecdotal.[/quote]
