[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people don’t want to hear this, but the HSPT isn’t that hard. If your kid has good grades, they shouldn’t be getting a 60%.[/quote]

Just because your kid is amazing and a great test taker doesn’t mean some other kids don’t find it hard.  My DC has a learning issue.  [/quote]

Same. But Gonzaga never once mentions any support for any child with a learning need in their open house. They ignore that those kids exist entirely in all their school communications-done by design-so this approach of ignoring those same children who have a testing need or accommodation of any sort is not surprising. The other Catholic schools have support programs in place. Gonzaga has no interest in acknowledging that population exists. It’s a blessing in disguise to all those who didn’t get in as we are leaving Gonzaga because they could care less about my child struggling (and similar experience for others we know). Those children have applied out to other schools as it’s not a good fit.  [/quote]

So glad to hear someone say this clearly. I have always wondered if I should have looked at Gonzaga for my dyslexic kid, but can now let it go. [/quote]

I have a dyslexic son. I know Gonzaga would not be a good fit for him academically. It’s sad because socially he would thrive, and I adore the school.  DJO for him. [/quote]

It’s sad FOR YOU. if your kid is dyslexic, and a school doesn’t offer aligned services, it will be a hard experience for them at that school. Put them someplace they can be successful and they will also thrive socially. [/quote]
