[quote=SAM2][quote=Anonymous]SAM2, I believe the discussion was comparing the top publics with the top privates. In that case, if you use something like SATs, I'm not sure it's so cut and dried. What are presidential scholars, anyway?[/quote] I was using the SAT data only to get estimates of how many kids are in public vs. private. I was not comparing SATs between public and private. I agree with you that SATs would really measure the middle of the class and not the super-high achievers, so they would not fit in this discussion. My apologies -- I should have made that more clear. Presidential Scholars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_scholar . Only something like the 60-100 students with the highest SAT scores in each state are even eligible to apply. Ultimately only 121 nationwide are selected each year. They seem to fit the definition of super-high achiever pretty clearly, so they make for convenient comparisons in this discussion. [/quote]
