[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just decided not to apply to a competitive school for 6th for many of the reasons quoted. We aren't legacy, they cancelled testing, and I don't see how our child was going to distinguish himself otherwise. Every 5th grader will have good grades (whatever that means after the past few years) and good recommendations. Absent the testing, he'd just be another one in a crowd. [/quote] How has your DC scored on standardized tests at their current school? The schools you apply to will get transcripts from your current school that include any statewide/district wide testing results. Your DC could be distinguished by really high test scores on those that other kids with similar grades/all A's may not necessarily have received. [/quote]
