[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HOPE aims for equitable identification. Going solely by objective test scores has not been resulting in ideal equity composition. HOPE is our new hope for achieving equity. It's likely high scorers may not get identified by HOPE but then that's why we have appeal process. [/quote] Not sure what the "ideal equity composition" is. Not all students perform the same, have the same academic talents, or work as hard. An advanced academic program may not be comprised of exactly proportionate percentages of any group which exists in FCPS. Students who qualify based on scores shouldn't have to appeal. "Forcing" the situation to accommodate poorer students isn't doing anyone any favors. My kid got great test scores and great HOPE scores, so I don't have a personal vendetta against the HOPE assessment, but I also think it's not a [u]reliable[/u] input (as in different raters might not rate the same student the same way).
