[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically, [b]MCPS has gone back to providing a way to distinguish among kids in the 99th percentile nationally, by giving that MCPS percentile score.[/b]  Prior to last year, they used to give a more precise COGAT score (can’t remember the name) — I think the highest score was 160 and 135-160 were all scores within the 99th percentile. Last year, they didn’t calculate or release that score and only gave the national percentiles, and there was an outcry about that.  I’m glad they are giving more precise information this year.[/quote]
Actually, I think this is a good idea! My kid was rejected from a CES last year with 99% across the board on the screener; it would have been helpful to know how that 99% stacked against other MCPS applicants.[/quote]

Doesn’t matter. [b]Race[/b] and house location trumps the scores. They don’t care about slicing and dicing all the intelligent kids with 99s across the board. Maybe they ask the teachers, or look at map, grades, behavior. [/quote]

If MCPS were using race as a factor in admissions, they would be breaking the law, and you should sue.[/quote]
