[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think universal testing was ever stated as being part of the high school application.  The focus has been on simplifying the information and application process, but not on universal screening as done in the elementary and middle school programs.[/quote]

They will be doing universal *screening* of this year's 8th graders. After which they'll receive a document outlining any special HS programs in which they're likely to succeed. If they then choose to apply to a test-in program, they will take the Dec. 7th test.[/quote]

Not true. Agreed that the application will be unique to the kid..but it is based on the home school/region. [b]There is NO universal screening for high school.[/b] Students can apply to various home school programs along with choice based (lottery) and application based (test). Students applying for magnet will have test on Dec 7th. The application along with test results,  teacher recs, MAP, PARCC, course selection and pathway, awards etc are considered as part of selection process.[/quote]
