[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a third grader in one of the "field study" schools that is trying the new selection process, my understanding is that both parent applications and school selections will be used to identify children who will then be tested for admission.  All parents will be notified in January about if the school thinks your kid should be further "screened" (tested) or not; at that point, parents can either decline (if their kids were selected) or ask to be screened (if the kids weren't originally selected).  I don't know if this will be the case in future years, but it's the model this year for the field test.[/quote]

Is this where there is a whole class from just one school?  That is completely different because there are so many spots available.  The "acceptance rate" will be much higher than at the centers.  I hope they compare the test scores between acceptances at the two pilot schools and the centers so parents can be aware of any differences.[/quote]

Nope, I'm at one of the other schools feeding into a regular hgc that is using this new process.  I agree, though -- I'm really interested to see the difference in the schools that have their own whole class.[/quote]
