[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a teacher at one of the magnets, I felt the caliber of students was much better when they introduced Universal screening. Previously there were maybe a few hundred applicants whose parents knew about these programs, but testing half the county yielded better candidates.[/quote] This makes total sense to me. My DC was not in the CES pool because we didn't know enough about the process to advocate for her to be placed in higher reading group at 3rd grade (two years later her reading has been assessed at high school level). Now DC has been picked by lottery for the MS magnet. And yes, MAP scores are high 90s, and not thanks to us parents, since we don't supplement during the school year. I'm sure there are other students in a similar boat. Their parents wouldn't have known enough to advocate or apply, but the children gained entry thanks to the wide catchment and lottery system.
