It's the CTP 4 I was referring to that they use to test achievement of current students though I believe they also use the ISEE for entrance. The school does not offer gifted programming. They claim to use these tests as a first measure in identifying children who may need more individualized work, though they are administered toward the end of the school year. The school itself places a very high value on these tests.

I've been trying to find out if the tests are really worth anything other then determining how the school is doing globally. We are parents though who don't typically put much weight in these types of tests though so there's an immediate discrepancy there between us and the school.

Thanks for the info!
