San Francisco’s Lowell High School, regarded as one of the best in the nation, is seeing a record spike in Ds and Fs among its first batch of students admitted in fall 2021 through a new lottery system instead of its decades-long merit-based admissions.
Of the 620 first-year students admitted through the lottery, nearly one in four (24.4%) received at least one letter grade of D or F in the said semester, according to internal records obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle. This marks a triple increase from 7.9% in fall 2020 and 7.7% in fall 2019.
The lottery system was born out of a long, contentious battle that began in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Proponents of the new system argue that the merit-based system was racist as it resulted in an underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic students, while opponents say it would harm Asian students – who make up the majority of Lowell’s population – and undermine the benefits of a competitive academic environment.
The San Francisco School Board, which introduced the lottery system at Lowell, saw three of its members removed in February after a recall election initiated over misplaced priorities, including what many felt were “anti-Asian” policies.

Huh. Who’d a thunk?
Must be white supremacy.
One of the best best schools in the nation and they destroyed it
time to drop testing i guess
Damn Asian white supremacists
In the academic environment it is easier to lower the bar than it is to raise it.
Progeny,
You’ve been had.
Something’s coming,
Something bad.
You won’t at night
Be safe or free from fright.
The man with no eyes will write your poem,
Tomorrow will never come.
Stupid should hurt.
So, social justice means ignoring intelligence in favor of quotas? I wonder what the NFL would look like if they used that methodology?
Pretty obvious what would happen when they kicked out most of the Asians.
I personally know someone from that school. Filipino guy. Won multiple awards and got a scholarship to Brown. He told me just a year ago, this would happen. Wasn’t just saying it, he knew it. He even added the non-pc statement that certain “ghetto demographics” are simply stupid (his words). All those movies about those being smart are just that: movies.

My GAYDAR is way up, of course it is SF!!!
Absolutely nothing libs touch doesn’t turn to s&#t
Easy fix. Don’t grade on performance, automatic peer promotion, graduate them, send the illiterates to college, so it’s the college’s problem. The college will steer them into a teaching program, and cash their checks.
the progressives got tired of trying to make black and Hispanic students like Asian students....Easier to lower the bar and let everybody be a moron....
