[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else find it funny that 63% of our kids are in the top 10% of test scores? :)[/quote] I used to think that numbers were all inflated. But I've come to conclude that the sample of parents posting scores is skewed to the high end. Parents whose kids scored low probably aren't as inclined to publicize the numbers. And kids applying to the top private schools in DC are more likely to have scored high. In other words, parents whose kids scored low recognize the odds of admission are too low, and many of them opt-out of the hyper-competitive processes that typically underlies participation in this private/independent schools forum.[/quote]
