[quote=Anonymous][quote]Comparing TJ to STA is a totally bogus comparison ... the kids admitted to TJ were screened for academics before they were even admitted. Many kids admitted to STA were admitted at an earlier age and with a portfolio that may have included strengths in many areas (sports, character, family wealth, the arts, etc.) instead of or in addition to their academic talents. If TJ didn't "outscore" STA and almost any other school in the region by any test you might choose (PSAT, SAT, or their age 4 WPPSI), then there would be a serious problem. It says nothing about the bright prospects of STA graduates[/quote]

Don't the Beauvoir kids come in with near 99.9 percentile age 4 WPPSI scores?  What happened?  Why the divergence by high school?  I would have expected  the rich and intense intellectual environment and bonding with superb faculty at STA would in the least keep our students performing equitablt with TJ.  Let's not forget that this carries 1/2 million dollar price tag from families who are also supplementing what STA brings to the table with SAT/AP prep and the like. [/quote]
