I can see why Anderson is pissed about how the DOE took complete ownership over the admission process. Anderson cannot announce to the world anymore how gifted all the children are that were accepted to Anderson. Automated and then luck of draw admission is not the way to get the brightest of the brightest. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

ITA- not that the kids this year are not bright but there is more to a kid than just a test AND why mess with something that has worked so well. I am not going to even bother with public next year [ Reply | More

Someone posted a couple of days ago that Anderson was the #1 ranked public in New York State? Is this true? [ Reply | More

yes, and of course taking only 99s and educating them well will result in the same ranking. OP is a bitter shutout. [ Reply | More

well either you were out of the running, or you know very little about the schools. anderson is a great school, and most kids would be lucky to get a seat there. [ Reply | More

actually, we are at a top district G&T, and the kids in the class chosen by the olsat are extremely smart. I am very impressed by what a mostly 99 K class looks like. there is a range, of course, since some kids came in off the w/l, but overall the class is really impressive. I believe the OLSAT does a good job. we will see going forward, but so far, the kids really are quite smart. [ Reply | More

Please stop speaking on behalf of the school unless you are one of the school's administrators. I was at registration today and they couldn't be nicer. No one is pissed anymore. They're just happy to know who the new students are. So, maybe they want control - why wouldn't they. Didn't the DOE create Empowerment Schools so principals would have control? [ Reply | More
