[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The benefit of being in-pool is that you can be lazy and not have to submit a package for your child.

In addition, if your child doesn't get in, you can be indignant and complain about [b]DEI[/b] efforts that are watering down what should be a qualification based approach, and start the 1000th fight here on DCUM over again.

On a positive, I guess it does give an opportunity for a lot of "new" info for the appeal at least.[/quote]

FCPS is about 40% white.
A disproportionate number of non-pool kids that get into AAP are white.
The number of white parental referrals for their non-pool kids is as much as the rest of the county combined.
The number of school designated AAP students are also disproportionately white.
White students are slightly less likely to make it out of pool than other groups (particularly URM groups)
White students are disproportionately more likely to appeal whether they make it into pool or not.

Sounds likely, but are these stats going back to 2020, or do you have another source to share?[/quote]

This is all from 2020.[/quote]

I wish they would release new stats, post-local norms and other changes, to see if it helped them with their goal of increasing URMs.
