[quote=Anonymous][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]

Won't increasing the number of "underserved" who get in reduce the number of spaces for the [b]high SES students whose scores are higher than the in pool score[/b] for underserved schools but not in the top 10% at their own school?  There has to be a limit on the number of AAP center kids, at least until they cry uncle and make it all local level IV.  At my kid's "low SES" school, that would have been a class with mostly principal placed non-Level IV qualified. That's one reason we chose the center school --to actually get a bona fide AAP program.[/quote]

These kids are less in need of AAP than high-scoring kids at low SES schools because the Gen Ed classes at high SES schools are already taught at a higher level.  [/quote]
