We got a separate letter from our home ES about compacted math.

This is what we’re waiting for but haven’t heard a thing.

Sorry I should have specified that we got this AFTER the end of the school year.

Got CES letter, our kid is selected to CES for literacy enrichment. I thought the enrichment is for both English and Math at CES.

CES is a humanities/literacy program. At the CES, kids also have access to the same compacted math curriculum that's available at non-CES schools.

Actually I meant the opposite. Not sure what stats you need to qualify from a W feeder as my kid has the stats required but i am
Sure the cut off for low farms school is higher and therefore my kid did not qualify.

NP. You say your kid has the stats required for a W feeder and also that they did not qualify for the lottery pool. Huh?

If the kid didn’t make the lottery pool, then they didn’t meet the basic score requirements of report card and top 15 percentile MAP-R.

Thanks, I understand how lotteries work. I'm allowed to be disappointed.

I don’t think W feeders has higher cut off than the rest. Just the pool of qualified kids is larger.

But that’s what I am telling you. He did. Report card is straight A’s and the map r was above 85th so there must be a different cut off for our w feeder school.
It will be helpful if people can post the mapr scores for qualifying students. It would take the guesswork out.
