That video holds no maximum quota. Read the preso again. Man, no wonder why your kid didn't get in.

If they cannot fill the expected quota by census, they will go county-wide to determine the next admission. Also, this is almost 5 years old at this point and has changed. Teacher recommendations matter, as do real grades. They specifically denote in this 2020-2021 policy that they *don't* just because of COVID.[/quote]

It also doesn't say a minimum quota, though presumably they admit 2% of a total of 7500 8th graders, so 75% of that would be 1.5%.
You are correct that maximum quota is not listed there, though the slides are not what I remember.  I remember Willard's 31, but also 10 for AOS and 11 for AET for another school, which was the maximum quota, but that is not in that meeting.  Everything else I remember is in this meeting.  I didn't notice at the time but there appears to be a quota for low-income as well.

I really don't think you know what the word quota means. There's no minimum. There's no maximum. There's no brown, poor, or green quota system.

They align the census data towards the application data and try to make those values be congruent with the student population. "Changing" the criteria in 2021 to more even amounts per middle school had almost no effect on the racial disparity in the academies.

In 2020, the 23% asian population in LCPS represented 82% of the AoS accepted offers. The very next year it resulted in 60% of the AoS accepted offers - and AET stayed the exact same - with that same 23%.[/quote]

I heard some Asian families moved to western Loudoun, easier with online school, to get quota seats.  The sheet you linked appears to say a minimum quota of 75% of the estimated number, for each middle school.[/quote]
