Score is ok overall 80s but verbal score is 60s with other 2 high 80s. Rising 5th grader. I'm thinking if I don't send it they'll think it is because DC scored badly.
I would not send them. Nor would I worry about it. It's a tricky test - a lot of kids flub it. It's not a result that's set in stone.
Dad flubbed the easiest part of the test (reading). Said she spaced out. took it again and went up a ton. At first I was worried that she couldn't read.
That was not the case.
Do not worry about it at all. Especially for 5th grade. Two scores in the 80's is great by the way!
Not dad, DD

Don't submit. The 50th percentile may raise alarm.

If they didn't ask, don't send.

I think you might be expecting that this school knows and cares more about your child's application than they really do. What I mean is that schools have many applicants and I doubt they are thinking, "Hmmm. Why didn't Larla's parents submit the test scores from the SSAT?" I highly doubt they are thinking this. Submit the test scores they require and I would only submit other scores if my kid aced that test.

What school? Are the scores consistent with the tests/scores the school does require?
