If it’s a center school with high performing kids and let’s say’s 4 other school feeds into it AAP 
Level IV kids from 3rd grade. 
Consider this scenario- 
center school cutoff 140
Out of 4 schools that feed into it 2 have a cut off so 140 and other 2 have a cut off of 132, since they are not that high performing. The kids who come from the two schools with 132 cutoff will take the spots of kids from other 3 schools who have scored between 132 and 139. 
This can happen, right? This is the reason they can’t be transparent. [/quote]

At least a group of 5 kids (for example) at a high-performing school who all score 132 would be more stimulated in gen Ed than one kid who scores 132 at a lower-performing school and has no peer group. The kid in the lower-performing school has a greater need for differentiation in this scenario.

That said, the parents of the kids at the high-performing school will probably self-refer and get in anyway.  A bit less clear for the hypothetical FARMS kid at the lower-performing school whose parents may not speak English. Hence the need to make sure he’s in-pool.[/quote]
