[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are allowing low scores way below 132 cutoff ( 125 or even less) from lower performing schools to increase the number of URMs. So, it’s fair to increase the cutoff in high performing schools like Haycock and other Vienna, great falls and McLean schools. 
And they say AAP has no admission limit. There is a cap. To take few more students from low performing schools they have to let go some deserving bright kids from high performing schools. Welcome to the country and county of Equity! [/quote]

That is not how it works. The schools with lower scores, probably Title I schools with more URM, are not the schools with the kids you think will get edged out. The kids coming from schools with lower scores would not be attending the schools or Centers for the kids you claim will be edged out. If there is a cap, and I do think that there is one, it is by individual school and Center. [b]The kid from Hutchingson with a lower score is not going to affect the kid from Great Falls because they go to different Centers.[/b]  [/quote]

Exactly, so they don't need to make a higher cut-off at the high-performing schools. But apparently now a 137 NNAT isn't high enough to be in-pool. Not that it matters, because 90% of students at those schools will have parent referrals anyway. [/quote]
