This is obviously scary. Is your experience that this is across-the-board? Our Big 3 basically made tons of kids get neuropsych testing this year. They even sent out a list of approved doctors, which was...a bit much. Surely schools aren't just kicking out tons of kids? [/quote]

I’m a little surprised that a Big 3 would ask tons of kids in a grade to do a neuropsych. I assume whatever these children are being referred for came out in some way in the admissions process either through the entrance exam, the play date, or school recommendations. [/quote]

Not sure why you are "surprised." OP is talking about a Kindergartener. Lots of problems can pop up in kindergarten that may not have been seen in pre-school or observed during the playdate. Kindergarten has much higher expectations than preschool for behavior and academics. There are going to be kids that either need supports (paid for by the parent) or need to be counseled out. If a parent isn't even willing to do a neuropsyche assessment when asked, huge red flag for the school that this is a relationship that isn't going to last.[/quote]

DP. The entire point of the admissions process is to choose a balanced class of children who can be academically successful. As PP wrote earlier, no school wants to kick a bunch of kids out. Preschools are literally asked to provide their sense of whether a child will be successful in a Big 3 kindergarten setting. Similarly, the play date and assessment are structured to help the admissions team determine this. With such low acceptance rates it is surprising that tons of admitted kids have autism, ADHD, or other learning differences that are so severe they require a neuropsych at 5. [/quote]
