[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see MPCS magnet (Blair, RM/IB, PHS) vs. TJ comparison. And as for NMSF numbers, MD's cutoff is usually higher than VA cutoff by 2 pts. (221 vs 219 this past year for example). If MD's cutoff was 219, there would be A LOT more kids making the list. There are a lot of kids around 220 who barely missed the cut.  [/quote]

"It's actually 129 out of 422 (from student services office of TJ) which is 30.56% versus 66 out of 280[200 (Blair magnet + RM IB program) plus Blair's other Humanities magnet program Communication Arts program (CAP) of about 80] = 23.57% (not even counting PHS number) and thus TJ actually had more semifinalists than Blair and RM magnets (minus PHS) combined numbers not less."[/quote]

Again, it's not very meaningful since VA and MD have different cutoff scores. Assuming  your numbers are correct, 30.56% of kids scored 219 or above and 23.57% kids scored 221 or above. Nothing more, nothing less. [/quote]

How many kids are in the Poolesville magnet program?[/quote]

Assuming 100 kids for Poolesville, it would be 66/380 = 17.3%. So, 30% v. 17%. [/quote]
