Test Scores

In the past five school years, more than 50 percent of our students scored at the 95th percentile or higher in the math or verbal sections of the standardized national test of the Educational Records Bureau, qualifying them for invitation to the John Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth Talent Search.

We ask parents to please remember test scores are only one facet, a small one really, of any school’s and any child’s demonstration of overall scholastic success and effectiveness. We all know many a successful adult—scores of them perhaps—who are flourishing in their careers, their family life, and their community endeavors who didn’t always earn the highest numbers on “fill in the bubble” tests. Character, resilience, joy, a sense of humor, concern for others, confidence. Saklan instills all of these in addition to academic achievement, and all these marvelously prepare our students for their future.
