Please help me to put this into perspective: DD is too young for private K and will be going into a lower tiered ongoing pre K. 99 SB and OLSAT, but dinged for H and A. Just got her ERB back and it's 98 performance, 99 verbal, 98 full scale. So I have two questions for all of you: First, given her test scores and I dumb to keep her at this non-TT ongoing school? I do like it and we might love it once we get started. And second, (please don't flame for this) do the 98's on the ERB make her harder to place? Do the real TT schools only want 99X3? I'll need to get some applications in the fall before I really know if we like the pre-K ongoing, and right now I like Dalton but I always hear that Dalton only takes 99X3 kids.

Of course Dalton doesn't only take 99x3 kids. Who are you listening to? [ Reply | More

are you the poster from before with the FA award? If yes, that will make it much tougher for your dd to get a TT K spot, more than anything else. BTW, a 99/99/99 dd (not summer bday) from my dc's preschool class did not get a private spot. Your dd's score is great, but no guarantee of anything. I think you're focusing too much on tiers. If you like the school, stay there and re-evaluate for middle school. There's a lot of movement. [ Reply | More

Those scores are excellent and any TT school would be happy with them. Dalton and the other TTs do NOT only take 99x3 dc. [ Reply | More
