[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a W feeder school and awaiting the letter, but my DC has always been in the 90+ percentile for math and reading WITHOUT supplementation. It's a significant disadvantage to us to be in a W feeder where it is assumed SES=parental involvement and supplementation, as now I'm convinced DC won't even be in the pool based on these responses and questioning why I didn't supplement.[/quote]

I think there is a little bit of paranoia going on. A lot of kids are in 90+ percentile (without supplementation) in non W feeder and dont end up in CES programs either. I see a lot of "my kid is white and from high SES, and a boy, and in the right feeder,  so of course he wont be selected unless he has 99% this is so unfair". Well, my daughter is brown, in a high FARM school, is in 98% +  in reading and above 90% in Math, and she didnt get a spot. Several other kids with very good grades didnt get in either. There simply isnt a spot for all good students. Which is normal, if you were taking all the +90% away and putting them in same classroom, the impact on average level of other classrooms would laso be bad.

i cannot say i like this system. Kids should get enrichment and challenging classes based on their aptitude in each field. Compacted math for ex. makes sense. Creating separate classrooms brings a lot of issues.[/quote]
