[quote=Anonymous]I'd suggest thinking about the parent community as something that isn't immediately obvious. We chose schools based on where we thought we could see our child thrive as well as to be surrounded by parents with similar outlooks/values. We ruled out some of the schools that were equivalent because of reputation. We probably should not have done that (we have friends with kids at some but succumbed to snotty reputational proxies). But the school we chose (and got into) is at the top reputationally and also the right fit for her and for us. And as an extra word of caution: there was one particular set of parents who we sized up as a bit aspirational, a little too trendy in their car and dress and appearance, and we*could*not*have*been*more*wrong about them. Among the nicest, down to earth, and warmest people and their child is an absolutely delightful and sweet friend to ours. All to say, don't pre-judge and if you get some offers, try to really look past some of the stereotypes and give people a chance (while also realizing there are some people who are rightfully going to turn you off and so be it, they'll be at the public school, too).
