[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  Those are your thoughts.  You have no evidence to suggest the child will struggle at STA.  A SSAT score less than 99.9 percentile doesn't mean a student will struggle academically, does it?   You do not have to be the sharpest tool in the shed to get the job done.  What are your thoughts about all the students at STA that are in the bottom quartile of performers?  Someone will be in the bottom quartile ... even at STA.  Are any of these students "struggling"?  How many?  How do you assess "struggling"?  By definition, are all passing students in the bottom quartile struggling?[/quote]

No one said anything about this child scoring anywhere near the 99.9% level, in fact, I believe it said he was not a strong student at his current school.  There are lots of options for underachieving and average students.  I wouldn't think STA would be one of them.  You seem very defensive.  Are you a big donor with high hopes?[/quote]

The poster you quote does not sound defensive. You, however, are rude.[/quote]
