[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are transitioning to all Local Level IV, and everything seems to be pointing that way, then I can see local levels being set to try and limit the number of LLIV classrooms to a set number of classes, probably between 1-2 dependent on the size of the school. So if you are at a high SES school and limiting the AAP LLIV to 2 classrooms, you end up with a CogAT cut off in the 140's while a similar size Title I school will probably end up with a 120. You would end up with the same number of kids in each of the LLIV but the bar for admission is normed based on the schools scores.

But that is a hypothetical situation at the moment.[/quote]

Out of pure curiosity, how does this work at smaller elementary schools (for example, a LLIV school with two 2nd grade classrooms)?  If you're setting a local standard to fill a LLIV room for 3rd grade, it would seem you'd need a lower CogAT (of whatever test) cutoff to pull in enough kids givent the small pool to choose from, unless everyone at the school is above-average.  But perhaps I'm missing something . . . we have no horse in this race, so haven't studied closely.[/quote]

I am at a smaller school, 4 classes per grade. Right now it is 1 LLIV and 3 other classes. I can see larger schools having enough kids to have 1 LLIV classes and the rest gen ed.[/quote]

Me again. I guess I am seeing LLIV as having enough space to bring in the Level III kids for LA and the Advanced Math kids for math, so that it would eliminate the need for those pull outs. You don't need 25 kids in LLIV for that to work. If you are pulling 10 kids into the class for Math and 10 for LA from the Gen Ed classes, you could have 15 kids is LLIV. The AART at our school says that about 10 kids a year are selected into LLIV with the standard 132 cut off so you really wouldn't need to do much to get 15 kids in a LLIV class. But we are a higher then average SES school, not many FARMs kids.
