[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Up to almost half of elementary schools[/quote]

Why is the not available to all students? Is it reserved for the rich schools or something?[/quote]

Look at the non starred schools and you'll see that it was mostly working class schools that got it first.[/quote]

I mean, I think the first roll-out was meant to be representative. In the pilot phase, they wanted to know whether it would work at all types of schools, so they picked a sample. It just looks skewed toward "working class" schools because there are more economically integrated schools in MCPS than not.

As for schools that didn't get it this round, it seems that no school got the program if they were hosting a different specialized program (CES or immersion). That has to be frustrating for the parents in those schools, since an "Academy" kid derives no benefit at all from being in a school with a CES or language immersion program, and in this case it means they are being penalized for it.

Thats not a rule. Takoma elementary school (piney branch) has a CES program and ELC. All the kids who qualified for the CES lottery but ended up on waitlist are enrolled for ELC (i dont know if kids who were not selected for CES lottery can get access to ELC)[/quote]
