[quote=Anonymous]Most smart kids go to public school. The "elite" privates *may* get most of the smart rich kids (but clearly some go to publics in affluent neighborhoods). At any rate, only a small fraction of smart kids are rich. And only a small fraction of rich kids are smart. The smartest rich kids who go private tend to cluster at a few schools. Leaving most private schools full of kids distinguished more by their family's wealth/status than by their intelligence. And even at the most academically elite private schools, there just aren't that many super-high achievers academically-speaking -- measured in absolute terms, as a percentage of the class, or compared to elite public magnet/selective admission schools.
