[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got ours HSPT. It’s bad. Bad bad. Like below 40th percentile. Our child has an older sibling at the school we’re applying to, and has all A’s and B’s as well as extracurriculars. Scored very high on one or 2 sections but awfully low on others. 
Are we screwed?
I am truly shocked. This child is not stupid but tested horribly. [/quote]
That will likely knock them out of schools like Visi or Gonzaga, but not schools like Ireton or O’Connell. [/quote]

+1.  Although, being a legacy will help.  If it’s not reflective of your DC’s typical test scores and you’re applying to one of the competitive schools (eg Visi or GZ), I would consider maybe having a teacher or the principal send a letter addressing this and maybe including additional standardized test scores.  This could help, especially if you’re coming from a Catholic k-8. If it’s O’Connell or Ireton, you should be fine. Both are good schools but attempt to serve a variety of students not just those at the top of the class.[/quote]
