[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are transitioning to all Local Level IV, and everything seems to be pointing that way, then I can see local levels being set to try and limit the number of LLIV classrooms to a set number of classes, probably between 1-2 dependent on the size of the school. So if you are at a high SES school and limiting the AAP LLIV to 2 classrooms, you end up with a CogAT cut off in the 140's while a similar size Title I school will probably end up with a 120. You would end up with the same number of kids in each of the LLIV but the bar for admission is normed based on the schools scores.

But that is a hypothetical situation at the moment.[/quote]

Out of pure curiosity, how does this work at smaller elementary schools (for example, a LLIV school with two 2nd grade classrooms)?  If you're setting a local standard to fill a LLIV room for 3rd grade, it would seem you'd need a lower CogAT (of whatever test) cutoff to pull in enough kids givent the small pool to choose from, unless everyone at the school is above-average.  But perhaps I'm missing something . . . we have no horse in this race, so haven't studied closely.[/quote]

You just have a mixed classroom, with some level IV kids and some non-level IV. This is how our school does it already. Level IV kids rotate to a different teacher for some subjects and back to "homeroom" for things like lunch/specials/recess where there isn't differentiation.[/quote]
