[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scores arrived. 85% here. Anyone know what that means to schools or how important it is for a student with all As? Not really looking for aid as much as wanting to know about how it affects admittance and/or classes.[/quote]

To which schools? And from private or public middle school? [b]Because we know everyone in public has all As[/b]. For Gonzaga and Visi and from public, I'd be very worried. From catholic k-8 I'd be a little worried. For O'Connell or Ireton you're fine regardless of your middle school. [/quote]

You seem like a nice person. [/quote]

Am I wrong? I have no personal experience in public, but I thought that was true. But if this is an exaggeration, please tell me! I live in APS boundaries, so maybe I'm getting an incorrect impression from neighbors and/or maybe this isn't true everywhere? [/quote]

Not trying to be insensitive, but that has also been our experience. Maybe ours is a skewed view, but almost everyone we know from public who would be applying to private schools have straight A's and are in gifted or advanced classes. This is for Upper School applications. If others have a different experience, please share. Not trying to be rude. Just sharing our experience.[/quote]

And yet my two former APS kids (k-8) now high schoolers still have straight As in their private Independent.  They don’t seem to be struggling in Honors/APS like many classmates (a Junior & Freshmen).  But their HSPTs were in the upper 90s.

Don’t knock public school kids.[/quote]

I have no idea where you got the idea I was knocking public school kids. I have a current public middle schooler applying to private.[/quote]
