Keep the allotment (maybe tweaked to account for center schools) if your woke sensibilities requires it but bring back objective testing so that we don't send these unprepared kids into the deep end of the pool.[/quote]

What if the testing results would leave allotted seats unfilled from a school? [/quote]

Same thing that happens now but possibly to a greater extent.  
The unallotted seats go back to the general pool.
If you wanted to relax the standards for those schools i would be OK with that as long as the families know where their kid stands in relation to the rest of the class.

Class of 2025 was a disaster.  All these families that basically got in through a lottery thought their kids were qualified because everybody kept telling them "you belong here" and then they showed up and started getting C's
Not every schools fills their allotment right now because families realize that getting in doesn't mean shit from their school and they are trying to figure out if their kid is really a good fit or just a sacrifice to the diversity gods.[/quote]
