[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our elementary I heard 80-90 percent qualified for the lottery. I suspect always been something like that because another parent told us that when they recommended gifted testing a few years ago the cut off was 80th percentile and everyone tested except for a very small number of kids. Even then when they did the ELC it was only for the top kids who were waitlisted for the CES or were otherwise identified as being above grade level. I don't think it's fair to anyone to use that curriculum for every student. It creates distress for those who are behind and lowers the standards for those so ahead they actually need it. [/quote] So 90% of the kids at your school were in the top 15% of the school. That's amazing![/quote] That's not how the lottery works. It's top 15th percentile in the catchment area[/quote]
