[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools actually select kids for admissions using similar tests and have years to weed out less impressive students. Given that, it's the private schools that are underperforming.[/quote] So, you expect every private school student to get a perfect score on PSAT/NMSQT and the College Board to then award 100% of students NMSF status instead of the intended 1%?[/quote] You might be aware that there are some percentages that fall between 1 percent and 100 percent. Perhaps students who were competitively selected using test scores and weeded out for learning disabilities whose parents are able to pay 55k a year might be better off on average than the average public school student.
