What IQ do you need to get into Nueva?

While The Nueva School doesn’t publish an official minimum IQ score, most successful applicants fall within a certain range. The target is often a Full Scale Wechsler IQ score of around 130, which places a student in the 98th percentile and above. This score suggests that a student is more likely to thrive in Nueva’s challenging and fast-paced learning environment. However, IQ is only one part of the admissions picture. Nueva also looks at a student’s creativity, character, and potential contributions to the school community. Strong applications combine high test scores with engaging writing samples, teacher recommendations, and interviews.
