[quote=Anonymous]It's not that all the 9th-grade-entries outperform all the lifers. There are lifers at the tippy-top of the senior class at every K-12 school. It's that, as a PP said, many 9th-grade-entries are very strong academically (not all), while the lifers are more a mixed bag. Basically, you really can't predict with 4-year-olds, and they won't kick kids out just because they aren't superstars. I would take it as commentary on the predictive validity of the WPPSI, playdates, and preschool recommendations, not as a slam on the lower and middle schools.[/quote]
