[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hardy seems to be doing a poor job at preparing kids for 9th at Wilson, private or anywhere. [/quote] Not really. 9th graders who applied to private schools last year (or to financial support in independent schools) scored high/very high (80 and above) at SSAT, most of them without any tutoring/parental support (except for the math test preparation after school class offered by the Chair of the Hardy Math Dept.). If SSAT is a good indicator of academic performance (which I think it is), I can say that my DC and his friends were more prepared than his ES friends who were at Holy Trinity ad British School for middle school (I only have first-hand information on friends'scores in these two schools). DC was accepted to 3/3 independent schools we applied to, and was offered partial tuition support to one of them. Of course we are talking about good/very good students. I really cannot talk about average students. [/quote]
