Boston Latin - How do they actually calculate an applicants "score"

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I am looking for information on how the Boston Public Schools calculates a students "score" for admission to the Boston Latin School (as well as the other exams schools). I undertand from the BPS website that admision is based 50% on grades in English and Math (final grades from 5th grade and first two quarters for 6th grade) and 50% on ISEE scores. However, I can't seem to find how they normalize/scale the two seperate criteria for scoring.</p>

<p>Is there a way I can calculate what my childs "score" would be since I now know all his applicable grades in English and Math as well as his ISEE scores.</p>

<p>Also, I know from the BPS website that decsions are made in mid March. Does anyone know how far after 3/10 that typically is ?</p>

<p>Any infromation/links appreciated</p>

<p>I believe the decisions are usually mailed late March. I do not know how to calculate the “score” of an applicant, but the better the ISEE score, the better the chance of being admitted.</p>
