A lot of kids have those scores.
You don't say what the school is so maybe you can be confident but if you are looking at Sidwell/Maret/GDS/STA/Field (which has been difficult to get into lately and doesn't take kids they think are just using it as a safety for Sidwell) this may not have been wise.
Not the PP you were responding to….but a lot of kids don't have those scores. By the definition of a percentile, that simple is not/cannot be the case.
Having 98/99% scores means a child is at the top. Mine was not, but, please, give credit where it is due!
