[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If GBRS from a private school is of no value, then it stands to reason that children going from private school are at a disadvantage, because their teacher's input is of no value, and has no standing in backing up what the test scores say.[/quote]

There are plenty of threads saying that there is no disadvantage coming from private schools.  This thread is not the only thread on this forum.  [/quote]

Completely antidotal but we experienced this with our DS when applying from private school with high scores (98 and 99%). Our son was rejected but went to the base school in the fall (while we reapplied) within two weeks he was principal placed in the local level iv for math and science class and by the end of the first quarter was accelerated to next grade AAP math. He also started receiving level iii for all language arts.

AART teacher was quite nasty when she talked to us and reviewed his file. She noted very loudly that she not been informed that he had been grade accelerated at his prior school and that "of course he was excelling" as he had learned all the material. She didn't seem to hold much stock in test scores either. I honestly got the impression she thought everyone prepped their children. To be fair this school is known as one of the more "TJ" heavy areas if that makes sense.

The whole thing was weird and we resubmitted that fall, he was accepted and moved to the center for the second semester where he has done very well.[/quote]
