[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading the appeals decisions thread about insane wisc scores getting denied makes me wonder if there is more to the story at FCPS AAP this year. Does anyone know if race is now being taken into consideration?[/quote] Race is likely a factor but it is just one factor. I doubt the county has quotas to fill, that would likely be illegal. Consideration of race is not just a quota issue anyways. Having a more diverse AAP population serves a more important purpose - studies have shown that when a student body is more diverse than the collective experience is more valuable. It may not seem fair that kids aren't held to the same standards but it is not an easy one to fix. In the end, if race is one factor so that the AAP population is more diverse, we are better for it.
