The 2018 MS magnet presentation is different from previous presentations, even from the presentation last year when MCPS has changed their policy and selection criteria.  MCPS did so with no transparency. One can speculate that their underlying goal is reducing the "opportunity gap;" for this reason, they are less likely to add a MS magnet program to serve the west side of the county (much as I would like to see such a program).  Never mind that the needs of "gifted" or "highly able" (or whatever term you want) students are not being met. Maybe it's like "robbing Peter to pay Paul?" So how does Peter feel?

The main reason that ANY enriched, magnet-type classes were offered in MS was a result of a huge uproar from parents, not from any proactive wisdom on the part of MCPS. While offering 1-2 magnet-type classes seems like a good start, it's not nearly enough.

As for the question whether CES students are disadvantaged, it depends on which CES school (by extension, which home MS).
