[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in boundary for those schools have more money than others. Those are two of the best elementary schools in the city, and so yes privates are more likely to prefer kids from those schools because they'll have a better baseline than a kid from another ES in a poorer part of the city. Some of the parents at those schools are still super stressed about getting into the "right" private because they are competitive, so they pull their kids out early (usually 4th grade) to get ahead of the ms & hs scramble. All of it basically comes down to the fact that those schools zipcodes are filled with people who have both money and ambition. [/quote] Very few people apply to those schools, and the schools need students to pay the bills. I think the main qualification for getting in is whether your check will clear. [/quote]
