[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Some schools have no representation while others are overrepresented[/b], which suggests that there aren’t school-specific quotas. It seems that teachers have the final say in the process, likely grouping students into tiers so that their top candidates are selected for interviews.[/quote]

What's your source for this?  Are you actually comparing number invited to middle school size, or you just guessing?[/quote]
Not the PP you’re responding to but the Edscape school enrollment pathways data show this information. You can see which middle schools Walls students come from, and how many students specific middle schools send. PP is correct. Deal and Hardy consistently send a greater proportion of students than other middle schools. https://edscape.dc.gov/node/1640846[/quote]

But my guess is they send a smaller proportion of kids who are even plausible candidates. [/quote]

Circular argument. If Walls was admitting a quota from each middle school, as the PP suggested, the strongest applicants from each middle school would be plausible candidates by definition.

There’s just no direct or statistical evidence that Walls uses middle school quotas.[/quote]

I don't know of any kids from my kid's school who have gotten an interview, my kid included. I know several applied.[/quote]
