I would just like to make a point about SSAT scores at these schools. All these people who are saying averages, their not, the scores are reported in MEDIANS. If you look at the boarding school review.com, the are averages but that is icorrect. If you look at the schools oficial facts on their website or in there view books it is in medians. For instance, SPS has a MEDIAN of 88 SSAT percentile. In other words, their average is probably much, much lower considering how many genious kids bomb the SSAT, legacies and athletes and just others they let in. SO be careful the facts you read, they can trick you. The same is true with Deerfield, Choate, Hothckiss, and that’s all I decided to look up, but I’m sue their is more.

This is why schools with high SSAT’s can except some really low, because it does not effect their median, unless their are half or more with that low score.
