For parents with DCs in selective public middle schools: What should I be doing now to help my 3rd-grader? She is a good student, has a good attitude about school. What do middle schools look for--just ELA/math scores mostly? Also, did you prep at all for these tests? Thank you! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

We have a girl at East Side Middle. Scores and grades are important. We didn't prep for any tests. Tried for Anderson but didn't get in. [ Reply | More

I think it's the math that matters most when testing for Anderson Middle...do well and then they'll read the essay. Same for Hunter High. [ Reply | More

The schools also look for attendance and tardy records, especially in 4th grade and early 5th, so just be aware of that. Some selective middle schools like if you have a "talent", too, like music, so if your dd plays an instrument, that's a plus. [ Reply | More
