[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how big the lottery pools are for Takoma Park and Eastern? Our kid is in both pools, but was selected for neither. Just wondering how many kids are also still in the lottery pool/wait list.[/quote] Huge. 15% of the kids from 5th grade are in the pool.[/quote] I don't think that is correct. 15% would be all kids who scored 85th percentile on MAP, but they also used all As on Math / Writing and Reading, so the percentage would be lower than that. [/quote] It's not correct for additional reasons. It is the 85%ile, which can be more or less than 15% of the test takers because of local norming and private and homeschool applications aren't 0. [/quote] It should average out. Anyway, once they're in the pool it's all random so maybe 1 in 15 are 99% kids of years past but it turns out that doesn't really matter. Seems like all kids can benefit from these programs.[/quote]
