[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=febegaj]So this means that a kid from a private school has the same chance compared with a kid e.g. from Longfellow?[/quote] No. Longfellow is allocated seats 1.5% of its 8th-grade class, as well as being eligible for unallocated seats. Private schools are only eligible for unallocated seats.[/quote] Sounds like Longfellow gets the same odds as any place. 1.5% is 1.5%...[/quote] There's a distinction between "odds" and "process." The process for Longfellow kids is the same as for any other public middle school in a participating school division. And that process advantages public school kids compared to private school kids, because students at private schools don't have a 1.5% set-aside. The odds would be a reflection of other factors beyond the process (i.e., for example, do the Longfellow kids present better or understand what FCPS is now looking for in the essay and snag more of the unallocated seats).
