[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just a shit show to stretch to push URMs into a program that is already bloated. All it will do is degrade both the AAP and Gen Ed programs. If they hate the limited pool of black and Hispanic kids who merit admission to AAP that much, just scrap it rather than perpetuate this farce in the making.

On the one hand I think they should scrap it but I have a “good” base school. How will kids fare in lower performing ES if they get rid of the aap centers?[/quote]

I suspect that the kids at the higher FARM/lower SES schools have lower test scores for AAP then the kids at higher rated shools. I would be interested in knowing if there are program differences as well. The Center seats in those area are filled by kids and I suspect that the number of kids with scores in the 130s and above are fewer in number. Not because the kids are not as bright but because parents are less likely to read to their kids and provide the type of enrichment that wealthier and better educated parents provide. And that is going to help kids on the NNAT adn CogAT.[/quote]
