Just wonder why no cohort criteria for high school magnet ? because high schools have AP courses while middle schools courses choice limited ?

The magnet program used to be an exclusive club for well-informed students/families with resources. But it will change.
And that's fine, just don't go down the peer cohort nonsense.

Magnet school staff were still invoked this year, or at least they were at Poolesville and Blair.

OP here,
I thought this was a new process but I did not know previous years because this was the first time and would be the only time we applied for high school magnet programs.
We did 3 years ago for middle school magnet programs, it was a lot more complicated -- for example we had to hand the papers to the teachers for recommendations

That was a good thing. The previous high school magnet application was more complicated than a college application. It was ridiculous.

This is the first year of MCPS's new selection process for high school magnets
Is it fair ?
What is admission/application ratio ?
Is CogAT heavily weighted ?
etc ?
