[quote=Anonymous]Both schools want representation from all schools of the county. So scores are important, but strong recommendations or wining some competitions can make a difference. They do not want only W kids in either magnets. Also their theory that child in good cluster will be find in home school, and child in "troubled" cluster will have very little opportunities. That make sense. Also they try to balance gender. As a result, it is much more difficult for boy from W school to get to Takoma then girl from any area. Similar it is not easy for girl from W school to get to Eastern, but many boys get there even when their first choice is Takoma. If your scores are close to median, it makes sense to appeal. You may also ask MCPS what criteria were used by selecting committee.[/quote]
