[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd rather see separate cut scores on the exams by ward of residence or by middle school. Then at least there is a standard, and there's an incentive for high-scoring kids to attend lower-performing middle schools because they know they'll get a better shot at selective high schools. If Walls and Banneker et al. reserved a portion of their seats for students who were in the top 10% (or 25%, or whatever) at their middle schools and had no major disciplinary problems but missed the PARCC and entry exam threshold, that seems a lot fairer to me. [/quote] I'd rather see a version of the Chicago system. Basically a certain percentage of seats are reserved for students from low-SES cachements and there are admissions tests for each school. You can apply to more than one, and rank your choices (similar to DC's common lottery). [/quote]
