[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give it a rest, OP.

When your kid applies to college, they use their own, individual SAT score. They don't apply to college with their high school's average SAT score.[/quote]

Ok really slowly so you can understand

Would you rather have your kid grow up and be around kids who score 900 on SATs or 1400 on SATs get it

It's about the environment, you want an environment with a higher performing cohort[/quote]

If that’s what you want then own it.  Some of us want our kids to be around a cohort that reflects the real world, and recognize that low test scores aren’t contagious.

Given how much the SAT reflects race rather than potential, choosing a high school based on average SAT scores is really not that different from choosing based on skin color.  But you do you.[/quote]

Actually I am with the PP.  I like that my kid went to a school with other kids who worked hard.  Now he is in a selective university in the top 20 USNWR where his classmates are all high performers, valedictorians, etc.  I like that he is now surrounded by/competing with kids who are smarter than him.  I always want him to reach higher, not be in an environment where the bar is set super low.[/quote]

You really actually think that white test scores or middle class test scores are a reflection of the fact that those kids work harder?  [/quote]
