[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All- Read this PP's explanation. It's an excellent and really shows that either MCPS had its thumb on the scales as someone put it so well or that the whole premise that there is an achievement gap is wrong. You can't have both and have numbers come out like that.[/quote] The achievement gap is real. Look at Math 5 Performance Level 5 for various races: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Assessments/MathPerformance/2MA/5/12/3/1/15/XXXX/2019[/quote] But if these scores were locally norned the distribution would look very different so I'm not sure this tells us anything about their admissions.[/quote] Right. The whole point of that smart PP's post. That they must have done things like local norming, extra points for ever FARMS and other things so that it wasn't a straight random lottery of everyone in the pool weighted equally.[/quote]
