[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We'll see how much better the magnet programs get in a few years. [/quote]

I think they will get better.  They'll be picking the best kids from a much larger pool, rather than the ones with the most motivated parents.[/quote]

How do we know they're picking the best students? They are only looking at test scores and location. This does not seem an effective recipe. But, there are many students that can work at this level if chosen for the program. We need a variety of admissions criteria and more seats.[/quote]

Well, MCPS has decided they can't add enough seats to meet demand.  Take it up with your Councilperson.  Standards are higher because now they're screening everyone instead of a select few.  [/quote]

Standards aren't higher.  Using location/peer group is different, not higher.[/quote]

+1 And furthermore there is no transparency for the peer group parameters, such as the mean MAP and COGAT scores for this group of 20 kids. Possible that they are all tippy-top scorers, but who knows since we were given no data. [/quote]
