[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is purely based on PSAT scores being in the top 1% of the state (semifinalist) or top 2-3% (commended). i.e. this is a metric for who can afford SAT tutoring.[/quote] My child missed nmsf by one point and had zero tutoring nor was any tutoring something we could budget for. But thanks for your assumptions [/quote] My own child was a national merit semi finalist 2 years ago. No tutoring. On an individual level, it's a fantastic achievement to celebrate with the child. But PP is right in that it is silly to use as a way to gauge school quality. He likely would have scored that no matter where he went to high school.[/quote] Disagree strongly. Some schools environments are conducive to achievement and others far less so. The kids earning these accolades have typically benefited from being in strong pyramids for years. [/quote]
