[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"better prioritize taking kids with advanced academic needs" vs "kids who got good grades so far and recommendations from their teachers" Is that the request?[/quote] Straight test scores, or test scores + taking advanced math if their middle school offers it. Combine it with equity lottery if you want to basically have a quota, but use the same process for both groups. It's crazy that you have these kids who are way ahead of grade level, zoned to a high school with zero ability or interest in teaching them, and they're crossing their fingers and hoping that what's basically a random number generator gets them into a selective high school. It also drives kids to leave their neighborhood schools in 5th for Latin or BASIS, when otherwise some of them would stick around. [/quote] Joining the chorus of those who agree with you. [/quote]
