[quote=Anonymous]"Even in the old magnet class, let me tell you that 50% of the class was not anywhere of the same caliber as the top 20%. Now that top 20% along with many others are denied. I would be interested to see how national awards won by Takoma gets affected in this year's class."

A--no one actually knows that the "top 20%" were denied.

B--I feel very confident in assuming that whoever posted that comment does not have inside information as to the academic profile and test scores of 70% of the students in both magnet programs or even just at Takoma.

C--Speaking for myself, I happen also to be curious, just for curiosity's sake, if all of a sudden Takoma won't win awards and instead those awards will suddenly be transferred to Hoover or Cabin John or whichever is the MS for those deprived Cold Spring students.   If that is the case, those parents will see a rise in their property values, so it's all good--yes, that was tongue in cheek--but as a previous poster said, the purpose of magnet programs is not for the school to rack up awards.  If that is not the case and Takoma keeps doing well at awards, I do hope the poster will come back and repost an acknowledgement of error...
