[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watched this thread a while before commenting.  I wanted to see where the parents and trolls were steering the thread.

Some of these folks are yanking your chain...  only 39.3% of [b]CES[/b] kids were in the 95th+ percentile.  Remember that CES is the upper level students within the school to start with.  Of those, statistically, there is a huge difference between the number of 95th percentile and 99th percentile kids  (certainly not a large number).

Remember that (a) parents that care about academics post frequently, but (b) just as frequently or more often - there are just folks yanking chains to sway opinions.  Why?  The Magnet and CES programs have slipped a bit on standards as of late, so MCPS needs all the boosts they can get right now.

I highly doubt that as that makes no sense given [b]some of our high scoring straight A kids didn't even get on the waitlist[/b].[/quote]

That's... most likely for a completely different reason.  Remember that the Magnet isn't really the Magnet anymore, so there are probably more 99th percentiles distributed out in CES classes at the various schools.

Remember that whole Asian-American Magnet lawsuit?

MCPS moved to dismiss.

On what basis is MCPS moving to dismiss the lawsuit?  I think I read somewhere that MCPS claimed that since they changed the Magnet admission standards to a minimum-cut off lottery *cough* pool, so since it's random, there is no admission criteria to violate therefore it's a moot point?  Something like that? (Can't find the document, but if someone else can confirm?)

My guess is that there are probably parents with kids on the extreme end of the academic scale that are pretty frustrated by about now.

And with this new minimum cut off lottery there will be at least three kids in the magnet next year with 99%. That's three times as many as you'd have at a regular school![/quote]
