[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is in 7th grade at STA, entered in 6th. His ISEE percentiles were all 70s and 80s, with (as I recall) one really high number in reading comprehension. Good grades from strong VA public...but he's not a freak genius. Good athlete, but no prodigy. No particular art/music achievement. VA kids are perhaps a little advantaged in that they're underrepresented there. Basically a well-rounded kid who comes across as a nice boy. I believe the most selective DC privates are somewhat like the Ivies in that they could fill classes with uber-smart kids...so they're seeking to create a well-rounded class. I think STA in particular is looking for a good fit for their strong culture...so it's not all about numbers. [/quote] Thanks for this post. By "good grades" do you mean mostly A's and B's or all A's or what? [/quote] How has he been doing? Is he challenged or overchallenged? Does he like the school?[/quote]
