[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s pretty clear in this paragraph from The Post: Of the 1,737 second-graders admitted through the appeals process over the last decade, fewer than 50 were black and Hispanic. Black and Hispanic students constituted 12 percent of those deemed eligible for the highest academic classes in Fairfax County over the last decade, according to the AP.[/quote] Successful or unsuccessful, appeals don't seem to be the issue. Referrals seem to be the missing factor, from those stats. Or at least, from those who say that 33% of 2nd graders in AAP get in by referrals with scores well below the cutoff, referrals seem to be what is lacking. [/quote]
