Just because your kid is amazing and a great test taker doesn’t mean some other kids don’t find it hard. My DC has a learning issue.
+1
DC had 96th percentile on the verbal sections, 15th on math. Composite was 60. Has all As except for a B in pre-Algebra in public and is happily accepted to a Diocese of Arlington high school.

Sorry but some kids suffer from test anxiety or aren’t great taking a standardized test and yet still prove to be straight A students. There’s a reason why colleges are moving away from standardized test scores. Happy for you that your kid doesn’t suffer from that.

Same here. Thinking HSPT mattered a lot for GZ admissions.
Same. I am sure it was an easy way to divide and decline. This pile with low hspt goes here and then no need to read the essays.

In at DJO from a K-8 private school with good grades (but not a good HSPT score).

Curious how much hspt was a factor in the decision. Child didn’t do well yet had good grades. Wondering what others experience was with admissions and a low hspt
