Nice in theory but puts teachers in a terrible bind. But that’s why there’s a pretty generous appeal process in place. If you really want your kid in, they’ll get in.
Appeals process is also not clear. See the threads on 3rd and 4th grade applications and you will see many kids with really high scored were left out last year and were referred again.
Referred? And I highly doubt kids with truly high scores aren’t getting in. Parents lie here all the time.was this your own experience? If not, it’s just rumor.
