[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, but the method by which they determine the pool isn't random. I realize this is anecdotal but the subsequent lottery years seem increasingly stronger.[/quote] The pool determination is not as rigorous as you think. There are criteria used to create the pool that are broad enough to start with a large enough pool of qualified students where unfortunately, some real outliers don't get picked. [/quote] Yes, according to the data that they released, you have to score in the top 5% at a low-farm school and the top 40% at a farm school, BUT any student who is FARMS ESOL or has a 504 also gets put in the pool with 70%. Now CES centers mostly have uniform farms so high farms don't typically compete with low-farms BUT half the kids in the county have a 504 these days so the bar isn't that high.[/quote]
