[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed at our high ses school that many kids would transfer in to aap from other less rigorous schools where it is likely much easier to get in. How is that fair? [/quote]

First of all, it’s a county wide program. The cutoffs are the same everywhere. [/b]

Second, it may be that they were not happy at their center because it wasn’t rigorous enough, and the children were not being served.

First, you're wrong. [b]They moved to local school based in-pool cutoffs 2 years ago. [/b]At our high SES center school, for example, the in-pool cutoff is 140+. At many other schools, including those that feed into our center, the in-pool cutoff is much, much lower. 2+ years ago they have county-wide in-pool cutoff that was typically 132, which made sense, given that it's a countywide program that travels with you to whatever school you attend.

This is news to me. Can you please provide a link?[/quote]

Yeah, this started last year. The in-pool cut off is based off the scores of the top 10% of each schools test scores.[/quote]
