[quote=Anonymous]You're not allowed to tour the building as a prospective parent or student.  The open houses are completely chaotic, overcrowded, and nonsubstantive.  The principal's attitude is that the students are lucky to be taken -- there is no effort at all to explain the strengths of the program and why the student should choose it.  You can't do a shadow day until you're accepted, so you have to rank without having really seen anything of the school.  When our child took the admission tests, the information flow was absolutely lousy, and got even worse after the tests were cancelled at the last possible moment because of weather and then not rescheduled until very late, making the application process even harder.  Once the students are accepted, there are only a limited number of shadow days available, so not all the kids can shadow.

How's that for a start in explaining what's strange about the application process?  We and many of our friends found it to be a huge turn-off.[/quote]
