[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, of course parochials and public magnets are worth looking into. Because you struck out. Really think about how you are coming off. 98-99th percentile isn't that big a deal in this area, not in the private school applicant pool. That plus rec sports and an instrument... That's not going to set him apart. I suggest a session with a consultant to calibrate your expectations and find the schools that will be happy to admit your child.[/quote] [b]Everyone in this area is top 2%? Is that how math works.[/b] My guess is this kid gets into a Big 3 in 6th grade. This isn’t Harvard.[/quote] They are national percentiles, so yes, it would be possible for everyone in this area could be in the top 2% nationally. Is *everyone*? No, of course not, but even pp didn’t claim that, just that 98-99th isn’t a big deal for the private school population in this area. [/quote]
