[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The only way for charters to select students is by lottery, per the Federal law that established DC charter schools in 1996. No testing (achievement or aptitude): [/quote] AZ gets around this by offering admission to everyone who gets a slot in the lottery, but not necessarily admission in the grade level that they prefer. All 5th graders get into 5th with no testing and no questions asked. If your child gets picked in the lottery, and you want your child in 7th grade, but your child doesn't pass the 7th grade tests, they'll offer your child a spot in 6th grade instead. [/quote] That's just f'ed up. No one has an issue with it?[/quote] To be clear, the Federal charter school law discussed above only applies to DC schools. Whatever AZ is doing is under the laws of that state.[/quote]
