That is the whole point of the test - [b]To not be able to differentiate[/b]. This is the path FCPS took to address equity.[/quote]

They try to guess what the test score would be if they actually took a test by looking at other factors.  They don't want to test because that gives people a way to identify racial bias.

Then they try to guess the race without actually looking at race and try to put together the most diverse class of academically capable kids they can without actually knowing academic capability or race.

If your 8th grader is taking algebra 2 or even pre-calc, it is not as impactful as a high score on the AMC 10, winning an academic olympiad or a state level robotics competition.
Those sort of things will almost certainly get you in.  
Success in a competitive situation cannot really be faked or fudged.
Otherwise it's a bit of a crapshoot.[/quote]
