[quote=Anonymous]I will have to find the information on test scores from last year from the actual letter, but note the following:

1) They did not use percentages last school year. They used the raw scores from Math & English then added the GPA Score. 
2) For the last several years, PGCPS has used The PSAT 8/9 for the Math and English scores. 
3) The PSAT 8/9 scores go up to 720 (per section) along with a percentile. For example my DC received a raw score of 660, which gave a percentile of 99% for one section. I can’t remember the other section percentile but the raw score was 580. 
4) The raw scores are then added to the GPA score (unfortunately I can’t remember how they came up with this last year to give you the total score). 
5) For last year, it appears that students needed a total score between 2300 -2400 for Roosevelt. And @ 2200 - 2250 for Flowers. As I recall DC score was 2590 +/- a number or two. 
6) My DC got in, but the scoring to get in changes every year. 
7) The primary difference is how they calculated the scores from years past. No more percentiles. However, who knows what they will do this year.

I am sorry I don’t recall all of the info on how the calculations have changed. If I can find the score letter, I will add to this post as “Roosevelt Parent 1”. Just trying to help because this info helped me last year.

Good Luck!!!
