GuestQuestion- Did anyone ever take the academic center test in 7th grade to get admitted to Lane tech or WY for 8th grade year? just wondering if it is worth her taking the test again because she was so close on waitlist last year. Just wondering if anyone ever got in or heard of anyone getting into to academic center. This mom i was talking while waiting at testing site stated they encourge kids to take it again.. but i don’t believe she was talking about AC at lane and at whitney. Thoughts?

KeymasterThere are 7 academic centers that students can apply to. https://cdn.bfldr.com/MXCD21SV/at/wrcj7c7jpgfm5h9h78gcxhr/GoCPS_Academic_Centers_Scoring_Rubric_EN.pdf
Many accept students for 8th grade but Whitney and Lane tend not to.
