[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] They looked at the non-CES kids at CES schools as their own separate elementary requiring representation.[/quote]

This is pure conjecture.[/quote]

+1 We don't actually know this, unless PP does know it. Pure anecdote, but here goes. I have two kids - one currently in 6th and one currently in 8th. Both were in regional CES programs for 4th and 5th. The 8th grader was in the first cohort to navigate the new admissions process, and basically zero kids got in from their CES. Maybe one, plus a handful more on appeal?

The 6th grader, on the other hand, has at least six friends from the same CES who were admitted. Maybe more.

There are two explanations I can think of, and I don't know which is true:

1) The current 6th graders were the first group to come into the CES using the new criteria, so were stronger (this feels unlikely)

2) The balancing mechanism used in the first year has been revised since that time [/quote]

I know what CES your children were at based on the states and it's the former. This group underwent universal selection in 3rd using grades, MAP, Cogat and again in 5th using more or less the same types of screening criteria. You would expect the numbers would go up.

But the difference is not as big as you are making it out to be. It wasn't "basically" zero who got in that year in the current 8th grade. At least 2 ended up going to Eastern, not sure if more got in. At least 1-2 attended Takoma. Again, not sure if any more got in. So that's at least 3 admissions. This year it was about 4-5 total admitted to one with I heard but don't know for sure admitted to both.[/quote]
