[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how is race read into the folders?  Stop making excuses for not getting in. Its meritt based pure and simple.

The selection committee is made of 20 staff members. Ten of the members come from Central Office and 10 are from PHS. Every folder is read twice. If the student is applying to all three programs the folder is ready six times. The contents of the folder are used as the criteria for selection. The folder contains: the application with an essay for each house that is written at home, 7th and 8th
grade (first nine weeks) report cards, 4 confidential teacher recommendations–English, math, social studies, science,scores from the Pearson math and verbal test given on the testing day, and a writing sample that was
created on the testing day.In addition MAPR and MSA scores are used.[/quote]

Thanks so much for this!  There are a lot of qualified students in the area!  [/quote]

My daughter's friend from Eastern got into CAP and RM.  She is African-American.  She is also an EXCELLENT student, hard worker, athlete and tests well.      [/quote]
