[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how they will decide who will be able to take the new enriched classes? PP mentioned schools have had a list for a month. [/quote]

Presumably all the kids who got 99s in 2 or more areas (especially composite) who were rejected from the magnets--the "20 peer cohort" groups. How far they go down into the 90s after that will likely vary and depend on how many "top scorers" they have, then available spots in terms of how large they plan for those sections to be. [/quote]

+1 It will vary depending on the middle school. Some schools will have enough 99ers to fill one or more sections of 25 kids, other schools may admit low or mid-90s to fill a class of 25 kids, especially if the 2 or 3 99ers from each of the elementary or HGC schools in that MS pyramid accepted a space at the magnets.

I assume the central office sent the packaged info with data from the magnet admissions round to the middle schools.  The newsletter also said they will consider kids that opted out of magnet testing, so I think schools will also review MAP scores, grades and PARCC from 4th grade.  [/quote]
