[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just the top 15 percent. They also have to have had all As in the prior year.[/quote] That is not hard to do, particularly in ES.[/quote] So? It’s not 100 percent. That requirement will reduce the number of people in the pool so that it’s less than the top 15 percent. [/quote] The "so" is that most people in high performing schools who score well enough to get into the lottery are going to get straight As. Also, anyone who has an IEP, 504 plan, gets FARMs, or is ELL has a lower cutoff of 75%. So it's definitely more than 15% who are getting into the pool. [/quote] Not true. Even just using common sense it’s clear that not all kids who score high in standardized tests also always work hard in school. You can do well in tests and not do your work in class for example. And DCUM consistently overestimates the amount that kids get all As.[/quote]
