[quote=Anonymous]SAHM2 -- I agree that Sidwell does treat all information regarding college admissions and standardized testing in a highly confidential manner, which begs the question: where did the Examiner get their data and how reliable is it? Let's stipulate that it's accurate, then the question arises: is it based on 1 graduating class? Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say that your confidence in the Examiner data is based on its consistency with other data? I'm trying to understand how consistency with the reported data on, for example, National Merit semi-finalists (more reliable, I would say, than SAT data since the College Board releases a list of NMSFs) provides any real confidence in the SAT data? Yes, given the percentage of NMSFs, it's entirely possible that the average SAT is composite 2100, but isn't it also possible that it's much lower and that the students recognized as NMSFs were outliers on the high end.
