I've seen that on the website and the letter that came with HSPT scores but I don't know if it's automatic for everyone in those ranges or if the phrasing of the word eligible means you might or might not get it. Also curious what the requirements are for it to be renewable. I assume a certain GPA.

Does anyone have experience? Otherwise we will find out in a few weeks, I guess.


Same question here for DJO. Also not sure if the percentiles are national or local percentiles, if anyone has experience there.

Can you share approx SAT score and college acceptances so far? Curious to understand how a 99% HSPT correlates to high school success. Thanks!


Sorry, meant this for the 99% PP, but also would be interested to hear from the 98% PP.


Who says their DS is at the age where he is taking the SAT and applying to college?


10:18 yesterday said DD is a senior at GZ, who would have presumably taken the SAT and applied to college at this point. Again, sorry for responding to the wrong post. My bad!

DD got a 99% on the HSPT. She is currently a sophomore, so no SAT yet. She rec’d a 1390 with no prep on PSAT. She is a good test, taker and loves math.
DS had a 89% on HSPT and a 1390 on SAT (no prep). Math is his limiting factor so we will do some math prep and take it again late summer. Part of this is because he does not have advanced math class.

Eh, my kid got a 99% and didn't prep, other than taking one practice exam to familiarize herself with the test format (she also doesn't go to a Catholic K-8). But keep telling yourself that.


Welp, that IS prep.


Nice try but you said prep classes. Not a $20 book off Amazon.

99% really limits the pool. But I suppose that’s the point.

Why? It's not like they're a chain. They have different tuitions, budgets, fundraising, endowments, size. If you're OP and you're this stressed now, I don't think you should attempt private high school. No school is worth the financial strain. And tuition will only go up, plus there are plenty of expenses outside of tuition.


Hi money is no object but I think she deserves to win the scholarship.


Now I’m calling troll. The school determines who “deserves” a scholarship. Ugh.

Yeah. My son had a 98 and didn’t get it.
