[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, remember that CES is a humanities/language arts-based program, not a math one, so MAP-M scores are not part of the criteria. I have a fifth grader in a CES who is doing great and has high 99% MAP-R scores, but whose MAP-M has always been in the 90-95% (high enough to do well in compacted math, but not the 99%-across-the-board student that others mention here).[/quote]

The 5th graders got in under the old admissions criteria where they reviewed every child individually. The current 4th graders are the only ones that went through universal testing where everyone was basically reduced to a number.[/quote]

Nope, my 5th grader (I'm the PP above) was part of the pilot testing program two years ago and used the same process that was rolled out for all 4th graders last year.  So universal screening/testing, no parent/teacher recommendations, etc.[/quote]

Then you're at a local center and the criteria are very different. Still competitive but the cut offs are lower.[/quote]

Nope again.  Two years ago, when my child was in 3rd grade, they piloted the new selection program for the Fox Chapel and Drew centers, as well as for the new local programs.  Universal screening was used for those two regional centers the year before it was rolled out for the other centers.[/quote]
