[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't know, unless you happen to have inside info. Unlike colleges, private schools are very cagy about such statistics.  [/quote]

So the post stating such as fact is nothing more than an assumption then. Figured that. [/quote]

I think that is correct. Some boarding schools release average SSAT scores of admitted or entering students, but I haven't seen this for any local day schools.

And, of course, even if you get average scores they don't tell you a whole lot. A 25th/75th percentile spread is a lot more useful. If you do get average SSAT scores for admitted or entering students, keep in mind that a school could admit 90 kids who score in the 99th percentile and 10 kids who score in the 10th percentile and still end up with an average SSAT score in the 90th percentile. In other words, a school can have a high average SSAT, but this does not mean that every kid who is admitted has that SSAT score; the spread between those kids with the highest scores and those with the lowest could be substantial.[/quote]
