MoN,
What is an 'equal opportunity' district? Sorry the term is alien to me having not grown up in this country. I ask because if it is actually what I think it is then ignoring IQ test results would violate the entire principle of it.
IQ tests, despite many decades and even more wasted government and private foundation research dollars spent desparately trying to prove otherwise are not culturally biased. IQ represents only potential whereas Achievement on the other hand is clearly very dependent on the home environment as it is limited by exposure to material and educational experiences.
Ignoring IQ just doesn't seem logical at all IFF the aim is to allow kids with potential to flourish despite factors like race and SES
