The ssat is not the be-all and end-all, and schools know it. They are not looking for every kid to be strong in everything. My son with the lowest ssat (of my 3 kids) – in the 77th percentile – was on the honor roll at Hotchkiss every semester after 9th grade. A score on the 87th percentile is an excellent score. If it were my kid, I’d submit.
