[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, if your kids don’t get in, then appeal.

Second, the different in pool cut scores are designed to expand access to Level IV for underserved students. It’s not to block students in high SES schools from getting in. And you can easily bypass the entire “in pool” process by parent referring. The pool is created to find students who don’t have parents supporting them at home seeking out this opportunity in school. Having a higher “in pool” score at a school does not mean that students who don’t make the cut to be in pool won’t make the program. It just means they won’t be automatically referred. [/quote]

It was a ridiculous decision to move to local in-pool cutoffs for a county-wide program and it actually hurts underserved kids at higher SES schools. The local in-pool scores are higher at high SES schools largely because of prepping. If the pool is created to find students who don't have parents at home who would otherwise advocate for them, those parents certainly aren't prepping their kids, thus defeating the purpose of creating a pool to catch those kids (at least at the high SES schools). 132 is 98/99% and that was absolutely the appropriate threshold countywide to put kids in-pool for the AAP program.
