[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems unfair that DCPS gets counted with all the kids in private school in DC. DC score gets pushed up where DCPS students have less of a shot. [/quote] Actually, the DC cutoff isn't determined by the scores of DC test takers. National Merit's policy is to use the highest state cutoff for DC -- so blame kids in NJ public schools (not DC private schools) for the high hurdle (this year, at least).[/quote] Do you have an article or something to back that up? I have read many times that the scores are set by where student attend school, not where they live, and that the DC scores are pushed higher by kids at exclusive privates in DC.[/quote]
