[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old has an IQ test recently and two teachers and one administrator at their public school said to me something like "I shouldn't be telling you this, but you're selling yourself short. Look to private."

We've never considered private for financial reasons, unfamiliarity with that world, etc., but their comments made me curious. Is there a certain level IQ score that would really help a child get in? Or get financial aid if accepted? Sorry if this is a clueless question. I know very little about private school admissions.[/quote]

We had DC's IQ tested in 1st grade but they were already in private. There is only one private in our area that requires an IQ test for admission and we didn't choose to apply to that school because it was too focused on pre-testing daily to prep for the weekly math test they administered. It also didnt have much to speak of in regards to sports or EC's. In other words, it wasn't a well rounded school.

I don't know any private school who will award you financial aid due to a particular IQ test score - you would need to apply and see if you receive any aid based on your HHI and need.
