[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our FCPS public's average is higher than about half of those.[/quote]

Then your school isn’t particularly impressive[/quote]

Right, you basically just said your school falls in the middle of the pack.[/quote]

Well yeah... Middle of the pack for free. Imagine paying $50k±/year and getting these scores. Yikes.[/quote]

Some of us don’t care about SAT scores averages. That wasn’t even on my list of concerns when we selected our Catholic high school.

And why criticize these scores anyway? They’re all solid scores.

DCUM is far too obsessed with putting others down.[/quote]

The cope from private school parents are strong here. First it was didn’t care where their kids matriculated. Now it’s don’t care about SAT averages.  Pretty soon it’s gonna be don’t care about the drugs they do either.

It’s inherent conflict of interest to think the school where you are shelling $20-50k a year might be a dud. [/quote]

We are zoned for a very strong public HS which consistently is ranked at the top. That said, we chose to "shell out" the money for private school. I know that my kid would probably be fine in public school because she's a great kid. But we wanted her to have a religious component of her HS experience. So she gets to have service to the community embedded into her curriculum as well as theology and opportunity to serve in campus ministry. These things would not be available to her in our very strong MCPS high school. At the same time, she has amazing, happy and committed teachers in classes that under 20 students consistently. We also don't have to worry about violence on campus or vaping and other drugs in the bathrooms in her small all girls environment. So for us the price tag is well worth it.  I don't know what her SAT score will be, but she took a mock test a couple of months ago and she got a solid score, so I am not worried about that at all.

I don't know how accurate the SAT scores are on niche, but I sense it is too small a sample to make a judgment. I do know that my daughter is surrounded by other very bright girls who are going on to very strong universities. That's all I need to know honestly.
