[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if that 1.5% of students do not perform relatively well on the test, are they still taking them? [/quote]
There is no test.  If that 1.5% of students has at least a 3.5 GPA and is taking Algebra by 8th, then they're eligible for those slots.[/quote]

It is more then that.

1) Honors math and science in 7th and 8th grade. this includes Algebra Honors (not just Algebra)
2) At least 1 one other Honors class each year
3) A 3.5 GPA
4) Successful completion of the math problem/essays

I would guess that there is a smaller percentage of kids who are eligible then the people who want the test back think there are.[/quote]

There is no "test" anymore.  It is some generic essays that check a box.  The rest of the requirements are not hard.  These standards are not much for creating a pool of "gifted" as it is just stratifying where kids come from in the county.  On the plus side it should encourage very smart kids to live or attend middle schools  that are rated lower.  It increases your odds of acceptance tremendously.[/quote]
