[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, Boston Latin (and other former exam schools in Boston) have changed how they select, and now do a combination of standardized test scores, grades, geographic diversity (i.e. making sure they accept from the poorer elementary schools in the city, and being in foster care, homeless, or public housing gets you a boost. https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=9035[/quote] Wow, that’s a complex system. Scores, grades, random numbers, and 10 SES tiers, plus ranked preference among the 3 exam schools and capped waitlists that are also subdivided by tiers. Might work for Walls, Banneker, and McKinley, but all three schools would have to give up a lot of independence. DCPS seems to be pretty decentralized compared to Boston (or NYC).[/quote]
