Unlike TJ, no MS quota. Based on historical performance. A token few might get in, but usually dropped out within the year

What is "race neutral". I assume it's different from "race blind". Is there a budget for each race?

It’s spelled out pretty clearly here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14B8AdZDZ2PwwQ-Ys93UbBLqNjGrP0Htt_xZilsuBGDE/edit


“Criteria-based programs
26. What data was used to evaluate my child?
The review process uses a multiple measures approach that includes both district-level and external measures. The data included: the student applicant responses, Grade 7 final and Grade 8 MP1 report cards, student services^, and MAP-M (math/science programs) and MAP-R (humanities based programs). The process for the review is race-neutral, name and school blind.”

Not true at the high school level they do NOT know the middle school. The magnet coordinator has made it very clear that it is school blind.

This is false. We were told the opposite.

DP but you're wrong.

Is it Middle school magnet coordinators or high school magnet coordinators ?

Each middle school. Magnet coordinator said they try for geographic diversity so they do know where the students are coming from.

That’s exactly where I was going to. So from what I’ve hear so far- there are kids from each middle school or possibly from each high school cluster

OP here .. agree that I could have phrased it better. Need to work on that 😊

My understanding is they have no idea which school applicants are from even. They just get a student ID and specific data.

Why do you make a big announcement in the subject line while your intent is to ask a question?

I'm not SURE there is a quota but they have said they try to be representative. It's kind of shocking how every MS school is represented. That's not random. But there are MSes that are overrepresented so I'm not sure there's a limit.

No

For HS Magnet criteria based programs, do they have a quota for each High school Cluster or it is purely based on criteria ? In other words will acceptance cut-off be different for each HS cluster ?
