Not sure which RGC program you’d prefer, Bell or Pritzker – but the other thing to consider at Bell is that they only have 1 RGC class per grade. So if there are any sibling restrictions within the same class, maybe that’s not a viable option as you go through and figure this out? Not sure what the rules are! Also not sure how many classes there are per grade for Pritzker.
Not appeal related, but Hamilton is a fantastic school. Their reading program is already re engineered and their k-2 teachers are trained in the science of reading, whereas many schools still have not made that change. They’ve had a lot of changes over the years (for the better). Principal Blathras seems very committed to the school.
Wow that is a hard choice. I know a couple of families at Hawthorne and they LOVE it. It is a rigorous and challenging program. It kind of feels like a SEES. Edison was our first choice too, tier 4 and we ended up getting Skinner North. I think my comfort is in the fact that with my child’s score for RGC, I don’t think she’ll ever make it from the waitlist if we decline our SN offer. However, we don’t have a really great offer from a choice school to throw into the mix. This is a tough one! Also, isn’t decatur only through 5th grade? That might be something to take into consideration. I thought Hawthorne was through 8th. What is the matriculation for each school? I’d look at that. So assuming matriculation is similar between Decatur and Hawthorne, I’d lean toward Hawthorne for being through 8th grade and the commute.
Next highest in scores. That’s why you don’t get a waitlist number. It gets re worked for kids entering and falling off the waitlist
I don’t believe they give waitlist numbers for SEES. they re configure the waitlist often because of kids re entering waitlist based on test scores
I was also surprised bc my child got a lower score than I was expecting despite the prep we did. And disappointed. Edison was our first choice
I thought I had posted but I can’t find it
Tier 4
RGC 127
Classical 99.6/98
offered skinner north – unsure if we’ll accept
If they have scores above cut scores then yes they’ll be automatically waitlisted. If not then it’ll say not eligible from what I understand
No. If they don’t make the cut off score it will say not eligible from what I understand. If the score is above the cut score it’ll say waitlisted and you’re automatically added to waitlist.
I’m not sure how accurate the info that I’m seeing is when I’m using the hack at this moment. Nothing is listed for my choice applications, and out of my 4 SE ranked schools, I have one waitlist and 3 not offered. I think the only time it would say not offered is if there was 1 offer. Otherwise, if there were no offers, it would either say waitlisted or not eligible (cut score not high enough).
