[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids with IQs in the 140s (tested at age 16 and 17) and I'd guesstimate that they're at the 80-85th percentile grade wise of their Big3 classes, working at maximum capacity (approx a 3.8 at graduation). There are some really smart kids at these schools---doing math 3 or 4 years above grade level, etc. I.e. they blow my kids out of the water both with what they can excel at and the ease at which they excel at it. One word of wisdom--the IQ tests that are administered in early childhood (WPPSI and the earlier of the WISC) are a bunch of bunk. I don't know any kid at our Big3 who didn't get a 99.9% on those at age 4 or 8. Then by high school these same kids are all over the continuum of smarts. (IQ testing is not reliable in early childhood and even less reliable when you're paying someone big bucks for the results with private school admissions on the line.)
