[quote=DaCounselor]That is very interesting bearishgurl because I thought just the opposite was true – ie; most of the transfer programs give priority to the lowest achievers not the “cream of the crop” as you say.
I recall looking at this a few years ago when LJ was still a contender as a place to raise the family. I will try to find that info. Do you have a link to a source that shows only the cream of the crop are offered these opportunities? Thanks.
I am also fairly certain that there was a study performed in the last decade that attempted to track academic performance of the transfer set and that there was essentially no change in scores, but I don’t have the data, I’m sure it exists somewhere.
Keeping with the original intent of this thread, I still don’t see any basis to support the idea that the LJ public schools can match those in CV or the other top areas.[/quote]
This is a super interesting thread. More along the lines of what DaCounselor is asking, what criteria is used to determine who is accepted in these transfers? Is there some level of criteria that puts one ahead of the list vs. someone else?
If anyone out there knows I’d be curious how they prioritize these requests.
