[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new OP here, when I say below average I mean below the national average, not the DCUM average (which seems to be very high).

I really don't know what happened. Again, honor roll all through middle school, NJHS, not an athlete but several extracurriculars and community service. A/B student.

I do appreciate the positivity. [/quote]

Reads to me like the middle school he's at over-inflates grades? [/quote]

That's a fair interpretation, except his PSAT 8/9 doesn't support it. He did fine (fine enough at least). Maybe anxiety? Bubbling mistakes? PSAT 8/9 was computer based.[/quote]

Just occurred to me, if this is the recent OP, I would contact Gonzaga, explain that this test result seems like an anomaly, and send the PSAT scores. Might not help, but it could. I'd tell them the HSPT score doesn't align with other standardized testing and you are worried he skipped a line/messed up the sheet. Worth a shot. [/quote]

Recent OP here, this is a great idea. I will certainly try. Schools haven't been answering the phone. I can only imagine the amount of calls they get from parents now.[/quote]
