[quote=Anonymous]I don't have personal experience (we're in the Blair cluster) but do have friends whose kids have gone through Einstein and they've been very happy with it.  I think this has something to do with your individual kid, though.  The appeal of a school like BCC is that you are more likely for all of your kids' friends to also be the children of upper-class professionals whose parents are expecting them to go to college.  Since peer groups are incredibly important, it's easy to see why folks want to curate the candidate pool as much as they can.

However, our experience has been that our kids self-selected a strong peer group. It's not exclusively middle or upper class the way it would be on the West Side, but the other kids are also bright and driven.

I *like* that my kids are exposed to kids who are working hard with far fewer advantages.  I think it has given them compassion, but also spurred them on a bit because they realize that other kids might want it more than them.  [/quote]
