[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% is not that special. unless he is extraordinary in other ways, it's not enough for a top 10 , and probably not even a top 20 college. [/quote]

This must be a kid.  You are so ridiculous.  Guessing what kind of college a kid will get into based on their achievement test percentile in Kindergarten.  You clearly aren't getting into a top 10 -- or even top 20 -- college.
And this isn't an IQ test, it's some other kind of test.  I bet your assessment is based on 90th percentile on an IQ test.  
OP -- testing at this age is notoriously unreliable.  Which is not to say your kid isn't very, very bright.  He might certainly be gifted, or just very bright, or not.  Either way, it's just too soon to tell.  Impossible to know at this point which school would serve him best, but wait and see seems like a good approach.  [/quote]

I took the PP to be using it as an illustration of how significant 90% is, not as an attempt to literally debate OPs child's college prospects. [/quote]
