A question:

intentionally leaving out some context:

For a kindergartener:

Pritzker SES or Burr?

For the sake of discussion suppose that having toured the schools they both seem like great options where kiddo would thrive.

Suppose both schools are one time options (tested into Pritzker, won lottery for Burr).

Suppose entrance into a selective enrollment high school isn’t the only criteria, but would be a pretty good outcome.

By my (possibly flawed) calculation, this is 2.86 standard deviations above the mean which would put it at the 99.78th percentile (given an assumption of mean 100 and standard deviation of 15 and that I have any the idea about any of this).

I personally would not take that too literally, but yes, it’s a good score and it’s no surprise that they got into Pritzger.

Will they be attending then? We are strongly considering it.

Congrats

To be clear… percentile of this particular distribution (the kids taking the test for cps) or some other distribution (like a representative sample of kids nationally).

Presumably kids taking a test for a gifted program are pretty bright to begin with.

Lol, it should, but graduate school was twenty years ago.

But yes, thank you.
