[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old has an IQ test recently and two teachers and one administrator at their public school said to me something like "I shouldn't be telling you this, but you're selling yourself short. Look to private."

We've never considered private for financial reasons, unfamiliarity with that world, etc., but their comments made me curious. Is there a certain level IQ score that would really help a child get in? Or get financial aid if accepted? Sorry if this is a clueless question. I know very little about private school admissions.[/quote]

My friend had similar experience,  the Principal come out and told her to send her kid to private school.  They were right, boy did well just got admitted into ivy with full tuition and stipend.  The school knew that he will teacher who are both good and bad.  Behavioral issue, drug and peer pressure may derail him.  If I were you,  I will run.  If you try private, is like day and night to public sxhool expect you are going to TJ.  And parent told me that the teacher in small private told her to take her daughter to private.  You have nothing to loose by applying.  Start early in September, attend open house.  Aim for top schools. Apply to like 10 top schools and apply for aid.  I can guarantee you that some school will still reject him.  All of them are comparable school, choose the one that work for your pocket and does not stress you out.

Please let us know what you decide, so that we can all learn from you.[/quote]
