Can you clarify what you are referring to with these numbers?

I don't know what test would correspond to scores expressed in that way.

In MCPS the Terra Nova is given in 2nd grade. Did he take it in 5th? If so, why?

Hi everybody,

If I remember correctly, this year there are 442 spots, with different numbers of spots available (ranges from 50-something to 70-something) at each of the schools.

Are those numbers per year, so there are 442 4th grade spots open each year, or are only half of those spots for 4th graders?

New poster here. I believe they said 442 spots for 4th grade, and 2000 kids usually apply each year. (That's out of 10,000-11,000 3rd graders.)

I also heard about 442 and 2000 numbers. But are you sure there are only 10,000-11,000 3rd graders? Because then the overall acceptance rate would be about 442/10000= 4%. I thought it was more like 2%, since people keep posting that only 1 or 2 kids per school get accepted.

Here's where I got 10,000-11,000:

To be precise, 2010-2011 enrollment was 10,627 3rd graders, compared to 10,884 2nd graders (the kids now applying).
