[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For next year, SIS, problem solving essay, “experience factors”, 1.5% of “qualified” kids from each MS, remainder evaluated with holistic approach to highest evaluated applicants without regard to region.  But it’s utterly unclear how they will rig the class with the experience factors.

What does this even mean "“experience factors”, 1.5% of “qualified” kids from each MS, remainder evaluated with holistic approach to highest evaluated applicants "?????  :roll: [/quote]

Dp here. I think they are trying to capture 1.5% of each middle school so schools like hayfield and Poe will send some kids vs none or very few. Now they will have some representation. The remainder of the seats left at TJ will be selected by a holistic approach.

Basically they are taking some seats away from McLean and Chantilly and giving them to kids in lower represented areas. [/quote]

So taking away seats at TJ from two already overcrowded pyramids when the CIP that Platenberg previewed tonight indicates that FCPS doesn’t plan to do anything to add capacity at either McLean HS or Chantilly HS?  Fantastic.  Gotta love FCPS. [/quote]

This is so much better than a lottery though.  Top kids from every school makes sense to me.  I liked it better before when it was pure merit and the best from the entire applicant pool got in - but this is something I can stomach.
