In the 2019-2020 school year,  took the following standardized tests: HSPT (91st percentile); SSAT (85th percentile); and the ERB.  \nThe Experience  \n was invited to take the SWOW Admissions Test on February 8th or on an alternate date, February 11th.  was unable to take the exam on February 8th, because had admission activities at another prospective school.  was unable to take the exam on February 11th because was on a mandatory 8th grade class trip   I contacted LaToya Grant, Administrative Officer and Admissions Director at SWOW on February 6th, and requested an alternate date to take the exam. Ms. Grant initially refused to accommodate  school schedule, and suggested that I “apply again next year.” I persisted, and Ms. Grant said “well ok, then come on Friday, February 21, 2020.” I did not receive a confirmation email, nor did I receive any test day instructions. I did, however, memorialize  participation on February 6, 2020, via an email to Ms. Grant.  \nMy Observations  \nOn Friday, February 21, 2020,  took the test at the SWOW location. We arrived a little early and at approximately 9 a.m.about 10 students were led into a room to take the exam. I saw one student carry an opaque shopping bag (like a “Giant” food store bag) into the exam room. The students were not required to show ID to take the exam. They were allowed to bring cellphones into the room.  \nWe left SWOW at approximately 11 a.m.. At 2:29 p.m., I received a tersely-worded email from LaToya Grant that stated in pertinent part,“Thank you for taking the time to participate in the School Without Walls Admissions Test. Unfortunately, your student did not meet the qualifying score to move forward in the admissions process.”  \nI have not received scores, nor have I received any information regarding the range of scores of applicants who met the \"qualifying\" score and moved forward in the admissions process.  \n reflections on the SWOW Admissions Test  \n told me the following: 1) the test consisted of stapled paper-rather than a bound secured test booklet 2) the stapled papers were not wrapped or sealed and opened in the presence of the students; 3) there were 56 questions; 4)  placed  name of the first page of the stapled paper; 5)  , there was no specific number associated with  stapled paper; 6) the answer sheet was labeled “Scantron”; 7) they were instructed to fill in a square on the answer sheet with the answer to multiple choice questions; 8) they were instructed to use the stapled test  \npaper for scrap paper; 9) the students were also given a piece of white paper with “Rules”; 10) it’s unclear whether the “Rules” were read aloud to the students; 11) the students were instructed to use the back of the “Rules” paper for additional scrap paper; 12) The proctor did not walk around the room, but rather \"was on her computer,” unless summoned by a student; 13) there was no deliniation or marking of the math/english sections of the test. The sections of the test were not marked “math” or “english.”; 14) the pages of the test were not numbered; 15) the front of  exam said “9th grade”; 16) they were given unlimited time to take the test.  \nMy Initial Request  \nRegarding the test itself, I respectfully request the following: 1) to receive and review 's answer sheet; 2) to receive and review the exam; and 3) I wish to know the","cbCaiqeZ8Hp7SjBS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqeZ8Hp7SjBS","pdf",63615,"English","# The test scheduling and communications\n## Initial request and missing materials\n# Observations from test day\n## Conditions and procedures noted by the family\n# Questions about fairness and administration\n## Policies, training, ID requirements, and scoring","[{\"question\":\"Why was the family contacting School Without Walls?\",\"answer\":\"The family is raising concerns about transparency, integrity, reliability, and overall fairness of the SWOW admissions testing process after the student did not advance.\"},{\"question\":\"What information did the family request but did not receive?\",\"answer\":\"The family requested the student’s answer sheet and the exam, as well as the range of scores for applicants who met the qualifying score.
