[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a child graduate in 2020 from APEX, so they went through the old system with a cohort of 60. I don't recall if they used MAP scores back then (in 2016 this would have been) but they had to take a WJ-specific exam on a Saturday. There was also a form they had to fill out about ECs, etc. (a pain in the butt because the form required signatures from the coaches or whoever led the EC). I don't know if they asked MS teachers for recommendations but they might have done, and I'm sure they looked at MS grades. I have no idea what my kid's specific MAP scores were back then. I have a current 10th grader in APEX and I have to say, it's disappointing. A cohort of 250 kids is meaningless.[/quote] Except it’s not meaningless because it removes most of the top students from the regular English and Bio classes in grade 9. I’m curious about the impact on those classes. Plus with so many kids dropping out, I imagine those classes get larger?[/quote]
