[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw this thread. The explanation why powerful people's kids get in is that they know how to game the system. They get a doctor to say that Larla has special learning needs and that is the best place for her. The same thing happens to Larla's siblings. You really think that all the slots are lottery slots? No. [/quote]

Really? Wow. What special needs can be taken care of at HB, but not at the other High Schools that are used to accommodations of all sorts and all have a ton of staff, including all specialists a school system could wish for? [/quote]

What a great question. Every taxpayer should be asking APS that question. The principal has the authority to let in some number of students outside the normal lottery process. They fill it with people they deem to be a "good fit" --kids whose parents create a story about why they can't deal with regular middle and high school. I am opposed to HB's obscenely low cap on student numbers, but the principal playing favorites and picking kids she wants to see there is just beyond the pale. This entire school stinks to high heaven in the current overcrowded environment.[/quote]
