[quote=Anonymous]I have a child who is an 8th grader and I am interested in SWW for next year. Looking at the SWW website, I see that a child has to score proficient on the DCCAS or 150 on the PSAT. My child attends a school that doesn't do standardized testing, so we'll have to do the PSAT. This seems like a grossly unequal standard. Proficient on the DCCAS corresponds to the 16th percentile nationwide according to the dc.gov website (http://dc.gov/DCPS/In+the+Classroom/What+Students+Are+Learning/DCPS+Common+Core+State+Standards). According to the College Board website, a 150 on the PSAT puts you at about the 75th percentile nationwide (http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/understanding-psat-nmsqt-scores.pdf). And that's for tenth graders, yet they're asking eighth graders to take it! Am I missing something?[/quote]
