I'm the PP you responded to.  I remember distinctly that "peer cohort" was written as part of the selection criteria.  That said, I don't think peer cohort matter much at the elementary school level when the same geographical group of kids are competing with each other for a spot, whereas, in the MS selection process, the cohort will play a bigger role.

AEI explicitly said peer cohort was part of the selection process for the CESes so there should not be any debate but I do agree that it couldn't possibly matter as much as it does for MS due to the higher number of kids admitted and the smaller catchment areas for each program. The way I understood it described to me was something like this. If one school has children with these completely fictional scores: 99.9+, 99, 99, 99, 99, 99, 98, 98, 98 and another school with 99, 97, 95, 95, 90, 90, 90, 90, 89, 89 they might admit 99.9+, 99 and 99 from the first school and 99, 97, 95, 95 from the other school. The 99.9+ is an outlier. 99 and 99 are in because they wanted at a minimum a few kids from each school. In school two, 99, 97, 95 and 95 are all outliers. [/quote]
