[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest is in K so I’m only beginning to wrap my head around these programs. What was the rationale for making it a lottery?[/quote] Previously, they used CogAT, but the test's owner wouldn't let them give it during the pandemic, so the lottery was born. It's not an actual lottery. To be in the pool, a student has to be in the top 15 percent of their school. Selection from the pool is random. At low FARMS schools, the top 15% might equate to the top 5% nationally, but at a high FARMS school, it's something like the top 40%. Prior to the lottery students were usually in the top 1%. IMO, this just underscores that these programs could be greatly expanded. There's no reason a qualified student should have access to this kind of programming.[/quote]
