[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a friendly reminder that the so-called cohort criteria is not being used for high school admissions and probably should be discussed in another thread, lest people get confused[/quote]

when did the heavily weighted peer cohort criteria start for MS magnets or HS magnets in MCPS?

and why if MoCo is 500 square miles and 220 schools are they located on the north and east fringes of the county? I presume many families work in downtown Bethesda, DC, Arlington, Tysons and thus live west and south.[/quote]
From what I understand, they haven't started using peer cohort yet for HS.  And they  put magnets in the "lower" performing school to draw (magnet) higher performers to that lower performing school.   It worked well for RMIB only because RM is close enough to wealthier areas (it's on the western side of the county) that the school without the magnet also draws higher income families (look at JWMS which also has a highish number of high performers, not as high as some of the W clusters, but high enough where several make it to magnets).
