master of none:
Thanks for your reply .
I have not presented my son's SCAT result to school . Was not sure if it will have positive or negative outcome. His language teacher is aware that my son is taking class at CTY.
My son does not have issues with his writing , as I explained , his essays are praised very high by his instructor at CTY and his language teacher likes his writing as well.
ERB test is not state test. His state tests all returned with max 300 points. The school does not take state tests into account for the placement. Is seemed mostly favoritism and politics that play role. Most kids who got into enrichment last year have test results worse than my son( kids share their grades , so we know about it). My son GPA is between 95-100.

His scores was pretty consistent .Possibly suburban rating was more strict this year. Most kids got significantly lower grades in reading part this year. His score is 81 , but some kids from enrichment program have 60-70.
You are right about the quality of the program, I realized that it is not worth to fight, but it was too late. Besides it , my son was very upset , he felt deprived that he did not get into it last year.
It was difficult to explain , why this happened .
The program did not accept new kids , even the rules explained that it will. Now , it seemed , that the same process exists for the placement to honor's program in middle school, which is worth to get into.
He is not bilingual , even you can easily guess:) , that my native language is not english.
What other test you can suggest to try ?
