[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got ours HSPT. It’s bad. Bad bad. Like below 40th percentile. Our child has an older sibling at the school we’re applying to, and has all A’s and B’s as well as extracurriculars. Scored very high on one or 2 sections but awfully low on others. 
Are we screwed?
I am truly shocked. This child is not stupid but tested horribly. [/quote]

Right there with you.  Wondering if school prepared the kids poorly. It's a well regarded Catholic pk-8. Shocked.  [/quote]

An administrator at a Catholic high school told me you can't really prepare for the HSPT, which surprised me. Our K-8 definitely did exercises with the kids and the limited parents I've spoken to since scores came out this morning have been very pleased. So maybe there is something to the preparation.

DS attends Catholic school in DMV.  Tested in 40s in spring of 7th.  We hired a tutor for the summer and fall.  Got an 85 (with a verbal score of 95)    Tutoring absolutely helped![/quote]
