[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP’s post indicates lottery for ES and MS, but not HS.  Looks like data for HS applicants will be pretty thin. [/quote]

Yes, very thin. Doesn't mention MAP scores and removing teacher recs means grades and answers/essay only from the application![/quote]

I was assuming MAP was part of the "student data collected pre-Covid and in 2020," but this year's MAP scores need to be taken with a grain of salt, and I don't know how far back they can go.

I'm also guessing that, in addition to grades, they'd look at course load.  So, for example, an 8th grader currently taking Algebra 2 might be seen to need SMCS more than a student in Geometry, who might need it more than a student in Algebra 1.  And for IB they could look at what level language the kids are in and whether they're currently in HIGH.  But, still.  Thin.

This class is the one that was the guinea pig class for the new MS magnet criteria as well, so maybe they're used to some randomness.[/quote]
