[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was rejected (64th percentile MCPS and 92th percentile National).  Home school is Westbrook Elementary in Bethesda.

Out of curiosity, putting aside the CES process, what would you take away from these scores?  Would you be worried about the 64th percentile, and perhaps try Kumon or similar outside of school?  [/quote]

This is what I don’t understand. This kid scored better than 92% of kids nationwide, and you’re talking about Kumon??  This type of pushing/pressure on a kid can’t be good. It just can’t. [/quote]

Seriously, don't worry about the scores.  Your kid is well above average even in a school that has one of the most educated populations in the whole country.  They are doing great.  Let them play and develop friendships, because, trust me, anxiety and social isolation will do more to interfere with their success in high school and college than whether they are scoring at 62% or 95% compared with their third grade peers.[/quote]
