[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the test scores as important as teacher recommendations?  [b]My experience with an application to TPES is that they were pretty much irrelevant in the end, as what the teacher had to say about reading and math level was weighted much more heavily.[/b]  I understand also that AEI is allowed to include factors such as whether the student is likely to get what they need out of the home school and if they decide you'll be fine at the home school, it doesn't matter how high your scores are.  The process is not transparent by design.[/quote]

TPES is not an HGC and the kids are younger.  So, that experience is not relevant.[/quote]

Actually, it is. TPES and HGC both are magnet programs. They are called differently. The selection philosophy is exactly the same. My DS was denied to a HGC because his home school said they can support him. It is a different matter that he is not being supported and no one (other than his parents) is checking.[/quote]
