Changes are coming to New York City's controversial high school admissions policies, with a greater emphasis on good grades. MKramerTV reports.
"It's a new day," said Banks."If a young person is working their tail off every single day and they get a 99 average and they're seeking to go into one of these screened schools, that ought to be honored."
Under the new policy, the top 15 percent of students in each middle school and the top 15 percent citywide will be given first-tier access to the screened schools. They will have to have at least a 90 grade point average. Mona Davids of the New York City Parents Union said, while it's a good start, the chancellor needs to add an objective measure like standardized tests.
District 2 is in Manhattan. Parents there have the same concern that it's not good enough to just measure grades. But they're happy the chancellor is moving to undo the de Blasio-era lotteries.
