A grade missing from the table has no rule on the school’s page, often because the school does not admit new students into it.
“Packer requires you to register for either the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) and/or Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT). We do not prefer one test over the other — we view both equally.”
