[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look it up, the average SAT scores at Bronx Science are 30 points higher than Horace Mann, just FYI. [/quote]

1470 vs 1460.  Basically the same. [/quote]

Average at Hunter is 1525. And also free :-)[/quote]

And. unfortunately, not many kids can get in to Hunter. Even if you pass the two rounds for K admissions, it's a lottery after that.

It is funny that all these top G&T public schools are mentioned, but even if you are a super smart kid, it doesn't mean they will have a place for you. It's extremely competitive. [/quote]

The bulk of Hunter graduates - responsible for those lofty averages - start in 7th grade, and it's purely test- and essay-based; 90th percentile reading + math on your 5th grade state exams to take their test, top 1/4 or so of scores on their multi-choice test, and then top 1/3 or so of essays among those high scores.[/quote]

That's great! But how many kids in NYC are getting in at 7th grade and then in at 9th grade?

I feel like there is all this talk about the greatness of SHSAT public high schools, but unfortunately many kids are not getting in to those schools. It is just as competitive, if not, more competitive than TT schools. So families can't bank on the fact that their child "will just got to BS or Stuy." [/quote]
