There is usually an assistant principal or curriculum person in charge of the enriched classes at every MS. If your child is on the borderline with scores you can talk about motivation, work habits and interest in the subject. I know at least one child whose parents are lobbying really hard to get their child into the math one. Not sure if it has been successful. The parents are very type A and bent out of shape their child might be left behind if he's not in it. I don't think her child especially interested in the subject, but he's a good student who works hard and I'm guessing his scores are close. They did the same thing a few years ago to get their child in to compacted 4/5 math and they told me he did well in that class and in 5/6.
