[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For Sheridan and Lowell - is there a percentage of kids that go public for hs?[/quote]

Usually 2-3 kids out of a class of 25. Sometimes none. The head who left was always discouraging and frankly a bit classist about public school.[b] I think that will change now that he's gone and you'll see more kids going public.[/b][/quote]

I disagree with your prediction.  I think it'll be the same rate, and it will have everything to do with the savvy parents' preferences.    I'm mentally looking around my kids' grades and I'm having a hard time thinking of more than one woman who would possibly be swayed one way or the other by a HoS, any HoS, into choosing private HS over public HS, or vice versa.   We're really not a suggestible bunch, we tend to know what we want.

To OP, I don't have much more to add other than to say that a very large percentage of Sheridan and Lowell kids wind up at GDS in 9th grade every year.  At Sheridan, at least, they don't tend to move at an earlier GDS expansion year; they graduate at 8th.  [/quote]
