No. Also, In-pool only means a packet is automatically created, not that your child is guaranteed acceptance into the program. This local shift is only 2-yrs old but higher SES in-pool scores are typically above 140.

Should one move to a more moderate SES school to increase their odds of being in pool? Asking for a friend.

Feels excessive but I’m sure someone will do it.

Feels excessive but the incentive is there. You can't stop people from going after what they feel is best for their kid.

I would question the judgement of a parent who moves to improve their child’s chance of being selected into a moderately advanced academic program. That would mean a parent is moving from a school with higher test scores, so an arguably stronger peer group, to a school with lower test scores to increase the chance of getting into LIV.

I have no clue how disrupting the families lives by moving to a lower scoring school for any period of time would be good for the child or family. But I am sure that the Title 1 or near Title 1 school would be happy to have you.

I don't know if people actually do this, but I think that many will do things to improve their child's learning environment and peer group.

The second school's LIV peer group would likely be stronger than the first school's general education peer group.
