[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a W feeder school, did not make it to the lottery pool even … wtf[/quote]

So, being at a W feeder automatically qualifies your kid?  wtf
[/quote]

Actually I meant the opposite. Not sure what stats you need to qualify from a W feeder as my kid has the stats required but i am
Sure the cut off for low farms school is higher and therefore my kid did not qualify.  [/quote]

If the kid didn’t make the lottery pool, then they didn’t meet the basic score requirements of report card and top 15 percentile MAP-R. [/quote]

But that’s what I am telling you. He did. Report card is straight A’s and the map r was above 85th so there must be a different cut off for our w feeder school.  
It will be helpful if people can post the mapr scores for qualifying students. It would take the guesswork out.[/quote]

The lottery qualification is based on locally normed MAP-R scores. Your son may not be in the top 15th percentile within SES-matched schools. [/quote]

What does that even mean? Top 15th percentile within ses matched school? Do you mean that if the map r score was 90th percentile than it can still not be in the top 15th percentile? [/quote]

Possible, depends on how much the schools' scores skew away from national norms.

Local norms are explained in the FAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jmQmo4UZDowNzddfXA56UtyB0KJPSfwiGi9oqqVT1OI/view[/quote]
