[quote=Anonymous]You would need more data (and data over time) to understand this. A lot of athletes in preppy Ivy sports go to prep and parochial schools. A lot of legacies and rich kids have ties to prep schools. In underprivileged urban environments, sometimes the parochial schools are the best academic option. When I lived near the DC/MoCo border about 30 years ago, the public schools, even in Northwest, were considered barely acceptable in many cases. Everyone i knew moved to suburbia when they had kids or did private. The massive gentrification of parts of DC has made it far more acceptable to send kids to the public schools. Other big old cities did not experience this wave of gentrification. So they remained in the privates for affluent kids and public for poor kids world.[/quote]
