I read the article. I was wondering about other matters.

Then they had a lottery to get into the better schools. Yes the good schools suddenly had a much larger rooster but even so the kids who were able to transfer into the good schools out performed the kids who tried to get into the good school but couldn't even thought the good school would now be full to capacity.
I read about the lottery, I was wondering how the rosters compared before and after this happened.
Presumably, everyone who was in a "good school" would stay put. So, how many slots were open to new students? Were the good schools not anywhere near full capacity, and that let them take in many other students? How much bigger did the schools get? (A school going from 100 per grade to 150 per grade is going to have some major changes in place)
Also, how much smaller did the bad schools get?
I don't expect you to have the information, I'm just wondering. There's big difference in taking in 5 or 10 new students, and taking in 50.
I amuse myself.

Regardless, you don't refuse to save some just because you can't save all. *NM*

When saving some comes at the cost of dooming others, you might.

Yes, well, they might be performing better exactly because they run below maximum capacity.

Cool cool. I'm confused, though- won't pretty much everyone try to get into the "better" schools?
