[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need something to get the number of students down to 10% of the applicants. Last year 1300+ students applied based on the qualification of a GPA of 3.0. 145 enrolled. The school is very proud of their average SAT score, average number of APs, AP scores, and college acceptances. If they just lottery the 1300 (or 1400 or 2000 or 2500) kids who apply these will all tank. [/quote] I don’t disagree but there is no equitable way to offer an admissions test. And the PARCC is flawed, most privates don’t give it and you could argue that basing admissions to high school on your sixth grade work is unfair as well. There are no easy answers to this, unfortunately.[/quote] Easiest answer is to place more weight on GPA.[/quote]
