[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a kid who gets a really high score but puts little effort into school or grades? Wonder how it plays out if they're placed into a top academic level based on the HSPT score. Basically, a mismatch between effort and ability.[/quote]

Ah, the classic underachiever.  Most schools like to take these kids because they have so much unrealized potential and they take the standardized test curve up.  They think all they have to do is find a way to motivate them..Sadly its much harder to do then they admit and I'm speaking from experience.[/quote]
Yes. I'm wondering what happens if they don't fulfill the expectations of the Honors/Advanced programs they're placed into. Do the schools drop them down or try to "counsel" them to live up to their potential?[/quote]

I can't speak to all the schools but at the schools our kids attended they had to take an additional test in the spring to determine math placement.  They did not take any additional tests for LA and we accepted whatever placement decision they made for LA.[/quote]
