[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, someone needs to get in given that they want every school represented in the centers. Raw scores in this are arguably more meaningful than a few points higher on MAPS.[/quote]

That's it. Someone does need to get in, from each school, and it is all nice and dandy, I just refuse to buy their slogan about 'peerless outliers'. We've known these children since K, they all are in the same ballpark, achievement- and ability-wise. No one of them has solved Fermat's last theorem.

What enrages me the most in all of this is total lack of transparency, covered by in-your-face BS. If they'd just said they were taking top 3 highest achievers from each class, with raw scores given the highest weight in the decision-making, followed by MAPs, followed by Inview results, followed by each child's involvement in school activities (or should this one be moved up?), followed by yesterday's star alignment, that would give parents a realistic prognosis on where their child stands. Instead, they feed you this 'peerless outlier' crap and expect you to eat it up. Don't insult my intelligence, ladies.
