I'd be worried about a tracking system that separated students into vocational and college prep based on results of some middle school test, with the quality of the education received by the vocational students being inferior.

Amen. Some schools admit with the philosophy of 'sink or swim' (think 'weedout' courses'). At least they don't gatekeep. Let the HS kids get Cs, Ds and Fs in AP courses - then they know what they're expected of in college, and whether they can/will work hard enough to do better.
