[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter scored 45%ile and had A/B grades but amazing essays & recs. She got into ahc & sjc with FinAid. We were surprised she got accepted to sjc bc it was a competitive year and peers with higher hspt were rejected/waitlisted. No hooks coming from a k-8. She’s very happy at her HS now. [/quote]

Why does SJC let it so many kids with mid scores? I respected the school but now I am disappointed.

All the hype, the time, and the effort to study for the HSPT only to find out SJC admits anyone. Why bother to study if they are the Radford of high schools? [/quote]

Maybe because SJC doesn’t want a school full of test-taking robots? Maybe because a lot of kids who do well on standardized tests also aren’t the most socially strong kids. Maybe because the ability to write an essay, and recommendations from teachers, are just as important to SJC?

You seem to want SJC to just take the top 250 HSPT test scorers to get in each year. Do you realize how bleak this would make the school?[/quote]
