[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People seem to be forgetting a few things: [b]* Most CES programs are regional, and MCPS is highly segregated. This means that your precious snowflake from Bethesda is not actually "competing" for a CES spot with a child from Langley Park. Your child is "competing" with other upper middle class, likely white/Asian, well-prepared kids. * MCPS is blind to race in magnet admissions. Yes, cohort matters, but race doesn't. It can't, by law. There are proxies, like FARMS status and the demographics of the overall school, but race is explicitly not considered. * So, honestly, the best thing to do if you want CES admission so badly is to move to an integrated neighborhood. But, you know, most folks are willing to go THAT far. [/b] [/quote] Exactly![/quote]
