[quote=Anonymous]Yup, the first cut at the privates is access (money/location) and that effectively disqualifies a lot of kids long before they start looking at scores. So the elite privates may have the smartest rich kids -- but not the smartest kids per se. And the smartest rich kids are a small fraction of the smartest kids. As well as a small fraction of rich kids who go to private schools. Tthe smart kids who go to public schools outnumber the smart kids who go to private schools. And the average kids in privates outnumber the smart kids in privates. Sure, the best privates have "more cream" than most privates (and a higher average) but not as much cream as the best publics (where admission is often a function of test scores). [/quote]
