[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point isn't that there aren't kids in application high schools from across the city - there are - and the application process is designed so that there will always be some discretion, and some would argue that discretion ensures a student body that reflects the city's geographic, racial and economic diversity.

But many here have argued for a test-in (not an application) middle school that admits students based on test scores and advanced academic skills. Application and test-in are not synonymous.

Re location -- it is one thing to send a 9th grader across the city alone on transit. Many are more reluctant to do that with a 6th grader. [/quote]

This is OP, I'm asking for an application MS as the thread title shows.  If it can be done for HS, and they seem to be doing well.  Why can't it be done for MS.  So far throughout this thread, no one has provided a good reason why this can't be replicated at the MS level. The only reason I see is that there is no political will, but why?[/quote]
