Thank you for the reminder!
I called today and spoke with the main office. I was told plans are in the works for a virtual open house session and all accepted families would be getting an email within the next week. I hope that helps!
Katie,
We were offered Pritzker RGC and will accept. I have spoken with two families that have been in the program for a couple years and love it, and one of my friends sends her kids to the neighborhood program at Pritzker and has only good things to say. I am going to call the school tomorrow to see if they are offering any tours/virtual open house things, and will report back.
Congrats on the offer!
Hi!
I don’t know much about Prescott, though have a friend that sends his son there and they like it a lot. He’s about to enter 7th grade, I think, and they didn’t do younger grades there so I am not sure what they’re like.
I have talked with a couple Pritzker RGC families and they also like the school. Unless Prescott is way more convenient for you, I always think of the fact that you can fall back on your neighborhood school the next year if you don’t like your SE school. You may not have the option the other way around.
In case this helps at all, I’ve spoken with three Pritzker families (two RGC and one neighborhood) over the weekend and all have great things to say. I don’t know if you can PM on this software but I’m happy to share more about the conversations I’ve had!
That is good to know! I’ve heard mixed reviews on the neighborhood part of the school but not on the SE portion, so this is great to be aware of.
Oh man, now I am going to think the worst since I haven’t gotten any school phone calls!
Good luck, all!
Anyone else feeling like Friday is lightyears away?
Waiting for results has made me realize that I don’t even understand the RGC score model. I understand that Classical Reading and Math scores are percentiles, but it seems like “good” RGC scores from last year ranged from the 130s to the 160s. Any insight on this?
I check ALL.THE.TIME. I called OAE and they basically said “when we know, you’ll know.”
It is very frustrating.
Yes, she took it the second week of January. She told us a couple different things – half the things she said have sort of changed over time and the other half have remained consistent. It’s honestly just made me more curious what happens in the testing room.
