DC is IN THE POOLS and waiting for available slots, and the letter SPECIFICALLY STATES those in the pools will be given enrichment at their middle school in the form of AIM and HIGH.  [/quote]

The letter says kids in the lottery pools will receive enrichment. However, it doesn’t say that ALL kids receiving enrichment made it into the pools. It’s possible there are two cutoffs: a lower one for enrichment and a higher cutoff for the magnet lottery.

My DC is slated to take AIM and HIGH, but was not in the pool for either.  I don’t know the requirements for the enrichment but he had A’s in compacted math and reading/ writing.  Map R high 80s map M high 90s.  I don’t think it would make sense to only include those who made it in the pool. Clearly he will benefit from the enrichment.  So yes it does look like there are two cutoffs, for the pool and for enrichment.[/quote]

Middle School registration was supposed to be for AIM but not for HIGH.  MS were instructed to wait for "the list" from AEI to do that registration.  Not sure what is up at your school, but the names of the two courses are very close.  Historical Inquiry into World Studies vs. Historical Inquiry into Global Humanities.   AIM is a separate issue, and local schools are fully authorized to do that placement.  All this to say, (1) check the registration and (2) if you get "unregistered" based on the pool, be prepared to raise the issue at the Middle School[/quote]

That's not true of all schools. Some middle schools offer HIGH and incoming 6th graders are registered for HIGH (Global Humanities).[/quote]
