 You are an ignoramus if you do not know what "MEDIAN" means.

? Lowest median scores...certainly suggests that it's drawing from the poorest performing students...which should not be the case in olney. Although, most folks don't agonize over the HGC. The brightest kids stay in their home schools and supplement (or not) at home. |

| It is interesting that someone at the median in all areas at Clearspring, Drew and Pinecrest would be below the median at the other 4 centers. |

Yeah, it honestly makes me feel bad for the many Cold Spring cluster kids who probably had higher scores than kids accepted to those three but could not get in. |

| Here is a question...how many points below the median do you think is the lowest scoring admitted kid on any one section? 5 points? 10 points? That I'm kind of curious about. Maybe people who were admitted and/or rejected could share their kids scores. |

| Drew draws from the whole NEC plus Sherwood. |

Do you? The median is the 50th percentile. So half the kids selected were above those scores and half were below... in each of the clusters. Drew's median scores were the lowest in 2 of the 3 areas. Cold Spring had the highest medians in 2 of the 3 areas. |

My child was admitted to Barnsley and was 11 points below median on non-verbal. That being said, she was 12 points above on verbal. FWIW |

PP here. Strike that. 17 points above on verbal. 11 points below on non-verbal. And 2 points below on quant. |

| If you read the interpretive materials on CogAT, it makes clear they NV is not a strong indicator of academic success. It is strongly correlated with visual analysis - like radiology, 3D modeling, l |

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. |
