[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if an admissions exam (and/or PARCC component) where you select the top results by school would work. I.e., some proportion of seats reserved for the top X students at each DCPS MS. Helps account for differences between schools, and might have the effect of encouraging buy-in at undersubscribed neighborhood schools (e.g., want to move and take your chances at Deal, or stick around in the hope of being one of the top X students at Eliot Hine or whatever). There is too much subjectiveness in the process right now. It sounds like a nightmare.[/quote] I have suggested this earlier and I think it's a good idea. It meets the stated objective from DCPS of including kids from neighborhoods that typically don't send kids to SWW. It is a variation on what Chicago has been doing for years and also on the new TJ process. But they haven't done this. And there's no indication that they want to. [/quote]
