[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what the criteria was like before the change but I do have first hand knowledge that a 99 percentile [b]at our school[/b] did not get in this year while a 92 percentile  did.  I don’t know the Map scores but both children were in the same reading group.  Grades and Map scores are misleadingly weighed the same or more than CoGat it seems.[/quote]

The cohort criteria applies at a school-wide level.  So kids who are from the same home school for ES are in the same cohort and would not receive any kind of cohort adjustment relative to each other.  I can't tell you why one student was chosen as opposed to another, but I can tell you that the "cohort" factor did not affect the choice between these two students who attended the same school during the evaluation year.  For middle school, because there are elementary schools that split articulation between two different middle schools, the cohort analysis could affect two students from the same ES who are districted to different middle schools I believe.[/quote]

It seems a little ironic the same parents who believe there are clear advantages to sending their children to the wealthy schools and can't imagine sending them to a school with higher FARMS are the same who complain about the cohort criteria which only offsets this distinction of which they're well aware.
