Spoke with Hawthorne this morning where my daughter is #15 tier 4 and I was told they probably would only get to #5 on the list. They pretty much said she has no chance!

My son was offered a place in Lenart RGC. Does anyone have any feedback on Lenart. Is it true that all they do is worksheets after worksheets? Also, is there anyone in the South Loop (near 26th street) who’s child goes to Lenart RGC?

We also really like Andrew Jackson but was waitlisted Tier 2 #87. Is there a chance he would get in that school?

Does anyone know what type of test they give for RGC? is it like the OLSAT? Stanford Binet? at what are do the results mean? is RGC the IQ?
this may be out of scope, but does CPS post the scores for those students that were accepted? can they be requested based on the freedom of information act? i know that they accept the brightest of the brightest, and i would like to believe that politics are not involved (but we live in chicago, and politics can play a huge role).

Son:
Tier 4
RGC: 133
90/91

No offers: Decatur was our first choice (we live a block and a half away)…

Thanks Bruce! I really hope so, the last three days I have been very anxious.
Hopefully I’ll be seeing you next year

Disney ll is great. High scores, building, great teachers. My daughter is in the tuition based pre-k. We’re to far down on the list for kindergarten but at no.8 you might have a shot.

@84, thanksnfor the answer!

I am very dissapointed. My son had surgery 3 weeks before his test and at the time of the test he had a very bad infection. He was not able to move or listen very well. I tried changing the date but cps was unable to give another date.

What about general list at Boone 3, Burr 25, Hawthorne 117? And tier 4 for Disney II 8?

Thanks in advance!

my daughter’s score was

reading percentile: 82
math percentile: 98
regional gifted center score: 122

Any chance for a classical school for kindergarten?
Any reason to try testing again next year?

Thank you in advance for your feedback

@kat p – depends on the school nd your tier. But probably unlikely, unfortunately. Again, the test score often does not reflect the reality of how smart a child is so scores could change a lot next year.
