Four published books, debate trophies, perfect attendance and a 100 GPA didn't secure admission for an eighth grader into her dream high school due to a lottery grouping.
The shift to subjective measures like essays and videos in admissions processes has led to concerns about fairness and objectivity, favoring a return to objective tests.
The student highlighted the need for merit-based admissions systems, expressing disappointment in being reduced to a 'lottery number' despite her achievements.
This case reflects broader discussions on the impact of changing admissions processes, with a call to review systems that can disadvantage deserving students.
