[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the Fall test used for criteria based magnets? Or math class placement in 6th grade?[/quote]

huh? you mean for HS?[/quote]

For middle school. TPMS and Eastern.[/quote]

"Criteria based" are the high school magnets like SMCS and CAP. 
The middle school magnets (Eastern and TPMS) are cutoff + lottery. They use Fall and Winter 5th grade MAP scores and grades. [/quote]

The Eastern MS (lower ~2/3 of county) & MLK MS (upper ~1/3 of county) Humanities programs and TPMS (lower) & Clemente MS (upper) Math/Science/CS programs are categorized as criteria-based magnets because there are academic criteria for qualifying to be placed in the respective lottery pools.  Fall MAP scores and 1st quarter grades are used.  (Winter MAP-R and 2nd quarter grades are used to identify the lottery pool for placement in the 4th/5th-grade Centers for Enriched Studies.)

The non-criteria-based MS programs are the county-wide Middle School Magnet Consortium whole school programs at Loiederman (Arts), Argyle (IT) & Parkland (Aerospace).  They are called interest-based magnets as the 100 seats available at each to those outside the collective catchment are lotteried among those who simply indicate interest (i.e., no academic criteria for placement).  (Those within the combined catchment also rank-order their preference for school placement.)[/quote]
