[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We applied multiple times to the Heights and got turned down... it's very annoying as 35 of the available 45 slots were reserved for alumni kids, siblings, and teachers kids. If you don't have an "in" - you're not going there. And my kids supposedly attend a "feeder" school.[/quote] I also know a wonderful boy who didn’t get into The Heights for 9th grade. He is academically gifted, kind, fit, the whole package! Plus, a great family. He wanted to go there so much! Basically, there were no spaces once all of the “hooked” kids were admitted. There were other great boys who couldn’t get in at various grade levels. Unless you have a special connection to the school it’s not happening! The girls school should be fine, if your family is a match they will have a spot. Perhaps you can get your daughter into Oakcrest then use that as leverage to gain admission for your boys.[/quote] I know a boy who was admitted last year to 9th who had no connections at all to the school.
