[quote=Anonymous]OP -- I guess I'm not getting HOW you've decided your kids are average? Is it just based on standardized tests that don't qualify them for the top privates? I tested just ok in elementary/middle school and got mostly As with some Bs mixed in (the horrors to my Asian parents). No one would have said I was the "smart" kid. Then in 9th I turned it on -- finished in the top 10 in my class that yr at a big well regarded NJ public; after junior yr my class rank was #2 and SATs (with studying using books but not tutoring) were pretty good. People were legitimately surprised. And then I got into Penn early decision. So consider the long game and don't count your 4th grader or 7th grader out . . . .[/quote]
