[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's not a case of lowering the baseline requirements, but rather that the overall pool of kids from non-Farms/non-white backgrounds is lower than the Farms/minority background (while still meeting the baseline)... So maybe a kid at X school usually has to have more than a 132 (or GBRS 11) to get the invite, while a kid at Y school might get in with a 132 (or GBRS of 9) because the competition at Y is not as fierce as the competition at X. It's not that the stated/published standards are lower -- as both groups have met the baseline -- but maybe the invites go to kids with the highest scores at X. I'm not saying this is true, but it could explain how FCPS would say that they are trying to reach out but also not lowering the score requirements.[/quote]
