[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably changes each year depending on how many siblings are actually applying? Ask during tours and interviews at each school.[/quote]

Will they actually share those numbers? "Last year we had 15 spots and 13 were filled by siblings/legacies"[/quote]

Oh, sounds like the smart parents enrolled their kids in K. [/quote]

The rich parents. [/quote]

Rich and strategic parents.[/quote]

But mostly rich. Strategic doesn’t matter of you don’t have the extra $650,000+ to throw around.

My observation is that the lower schools are disproportionately filled with only kids. There just aren’t that many truly truly rich people in our region (by that I mean NYC or LA rich).   The families of like four that send their kids to the $55k/yr for life are just a handful.  As a result, you get kind of a weird dynamic in lower schools/lifers around here of a bunch of only kids who don’t have brothers and sisters all going to school together in one ecosystem.  It’s a bit of a weird science experiment. [/quote]

In a Big 5 private lower school and not our experience at all. I think our DD has maybe one only child in her grade? It’s all at least 2 siblings with some families of 3. [/quote]
