[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll let you know in 10-15 years. Our HHI is 600K and my ES kids are trending average in everything. 80-something percentile test scores, no gifted classes, won't be in a magnet, won't be D1 athletic recruits. Just regularly performing kids. Also, statistically, wouldn't the descriptor above apply to MOST kids? Don't let DCUM fool you.[/quote] As a parent with a kid in the 80-90th percentile - I consider that above average (maybe not around here in Lake Woebegon). And having scores myself in the 97-99th percentile, as well as significant academic success and knowing a lot of people in the 80 - 99th percentile - those extra ~15 or so percentile points are far less important than a good work ethic, curiosity, and reasonably good social skills.
