This year's exam aimed to help chances of low-income families, but fewer kids in poor districts took it.
The DOE dropped its initial proposal to co-locate the STEM program at P.S. 76 after parents objected.
Parents want the DOE to release scoring data after thousands more kids qualified for G&T programs.
Even more students now qualify for the prestigious program, stressing local parents.
Slightly more students in the district qualified for G&T this year, though fewer got the highest scores.
After announcing changes to G&T placement in the fall, the DOE reversed course, surprising parents.
Under pressure, the Department of Education withdrew plans to slash the G&T program in P.S. 122.
The neighborhood's most sought-after schools include P.S. 122, P.S. 85 and P.S. 166, known for their G&T.
P.S. 85's STEM Academy is currently K-5 and the only citywide gifted program without a middle school.
A town hall meeting is scheduled for District 30 parents Monday night.
Parents in District 30 have demanded more seats for gifted and talented children.
