[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want to clarify. I had the same question about invitation to brunch at SJC. I called the school and was told that all students who expressed interest were invited to the brunch. My DC did not make some "cut."  I was also told that scores would not be sent out until 1/24/20.

I don't know for sure, but I'm suspicious of that answer. In fact, I don't believe it one bit, but that's just me.  We, and others, got tipped off (in past years) by a VA school reaching out, well before the parents received scores, with a "Gee, Johnny did really well on his test, maybe he should apply here" (or something similar). I don't have an 8th grader this year.

I'm pretty sure the schools got the scores long ago. Parents should demand better of adw. Nobody applies to college without knowing their SAT score, why are kids forced to apply to HS with no test score in hand?

The archdiocese of Baltimore sends scores right after Christmas but the application deadlines are mid December. Would you not apply to these schools if you had the scores? At least here in Baltimore, these schools are accepting a wide range of students from kids who will be in AP courses to kids who need remedial help. Do the Catholic high schools in DC have programs for kids with learning disabilities? Executive function problems? Many of them here have these programs. I think the HSPT scores are more for class placement than anything else. That’s how my son was placed in his 9th grade classes. That and his middle school grades. Kids coming from parish schools have the edge in admissions here. The high schools know what they are getting. Public school kids tend to have inflated grades here. Kids and grandkids of alumni still have the advantage. [/quote]
