You can't whine that someone gamed a system because they got a better quantitative test result, and then turn around and support rigging a system for others who live in certain neighborhoods with certain demographics.

Thank you. The racism that some parents and MCPS openly display toward Asian Americans is appalling.

The racism some parents openly display towards Latinos and African Americans while carrying the banner of Justice for Asian American magnet candidates is also appalling.

+1000

+1000 ** 1000 Seriously, the claims of having higher quantitive test scores aren't even factual. It's just this ugly assumption that poor kids can't possibly do as well as theirs. However, when you open up the competition to 10X as many students a few of those poor kids do and guess what it's now harder to get into these programs. So even though race isn't part of the selection criteria and that would be completely illegal, they constantly assert it is in order to diminish the accomplishments of others and make them feel better about their own child's apparent deficiency.

All of you are pathetic you are arguing on a website that has no impact on what actually happens in the real world yall are idiots.

The website doesn't have an impact on what actually happens in the real world, but people who believe that poor/Latino/African-American kids are lesser certainly do. Unfortunately.

It's curious that the county also put most of its section 8 housing near Langley Park and Gaithersburg for decades. Wonder if there's a correlation?

Anonymous wrote:The proliferation of programs throughout the DCC to attract better performing students from elsewhere in the county is designed to bump up the primary score performance

I know of two programs in DCC high schools that are open to students from elsewhere in the county (i.e., outside of the DCC) - the math/sci program at Blair, and the visual arts program at Einstein. Am I missing any? Do you consider two programs to be proliferation?

There is also a biomedical engineering mini-magnet at Wheaton, the CAP program at Blair, the Visual Arts at Einstein that you mentioned.

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/downcounty/

Application Programs Open to DCC Students
Biomedical Magnet Program
Communication Arts Program (CAP)
Engineering Magnet Program
Leadership Training Institute (LTI)

Those programs are only open to students in the DCC.

Yes, availability of mini-magnet programs in the DCC was the question I was answering.

The PP's argument was that MCPS has put magnet programs into DCC schools to attract students from outside the DCC. A magnet program that is open only to students in the DCC does not attract students from outside the DCC.

And PPs also noted that these programs are among the criteria folks use when buying a home, so yes, they can attract MC and UMC families to live in the DCC.

This post contains about as many inaccuracies as it does typos. I understand that some people are bitter that they can't game the magnets like they used to, but it's time to move on.
