My child was admitted last year with NV 8 points below median, verbal at median and quantitative above median (I think 5 or 6 above).

Way to go, Olney!

Drew parents: be glad your kids were competing with less qualified students---they probably wouldn't have had a chance in another district.

mean.

You just want to make a joke about Olney but the joke is on you. Results clearly show

Clearspring: _______________V-129, Q-132, NV- 126
Drew:____________________ V-128, Q-131, NV -122
Pine Crest/Oak View:________ V-129,Q- 126, NV- 122

Clearsprings, Drew and Pine Crest/Oak View have similar scores, with Drew slightly better than Pine Crest/Oak View. At least get your figures right before making useless comparison. Averages mean that someone can have perfect scores of 160 at these Centers.

Yes, the only outlier is Coldspring.... Differences in all the other centers aren't really significant.

And CS HGC is something like 90% Asian.

Good score, but posting without context is not helpful.
Did your DC take Dr. Li's class? Have you been going to Kumon? What is the secret to near perfection?

She played Prodigy, which was recommended by her math teacher, at level 81 now. She's been learning math by herself on Khanacademy, at fifth grade now. That's about it.

Not the PP, but thanks for posting that. I had never heard of Prodigy so I just googled it. Seems like something my DS would enjoy!

That's untrue. Stop spreading the rumor. Another Myth is that HGCs are mostly girls.

My child is not Asian and will be attending Cold Spring. DC's scores: 155V 153Q 135NV

Definitely a brag-worthy score, PP. Did your child do anything special to get ready for testing?

Look at the numbers posted above at 18:38...that's what prompted my comment. Care to take back your snarky post, pp, now that you've read those numbers?

One Cogat practice test purchased from Amazon and one from Itunes. No tutoring. DC has always been equally strong in reading and math.
