[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw what “other material”’is normally submitted with the application? I thought it’s just the test scores and teachers assessment. What other material? Worksheets from the classroom? [/quote]

HOPE scores, it used to be GBRS scores, report cards, and work samples are included in all applications.

Parents can choose to submit:  a parent questionnaire, essentially a sheet with traits that you check if you think your child has or does not and provide examples for each trait, and work samples from home.

The last audit, which was 6 years ago I think, showed that the GBRS, now HOPE scores, were most important, then the CoGAT. NNAT had no impact on selection and the work samples did not seem to be all that important. It has been a while since I looked at the report. It also showed that parent applications and appeals were more common among MC and UMC families and played a significant role in who was selected and the diversity imbalance; Whites and Asians were over-represented in AAP and Blacks and Hispanics were under-represented.

It has been a while since they conducted an audit. The school board did implement many of the suggestions in the report but have not implemented all of them. The two that I remember being suggested that have not been acted are on removing appeals and removing parent referrals. [/quote]
