[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What demographics do you think they typically need to fill?  latin/hispanic? [/quote]
You would think so, but they don’t need to fill anything [/quote]

When we toured, there wasn’t much diversity.[/quote]

Not sure what you saw…

We have 2 kids there. We are POC.   US class my daughter is in is about 35% UMR and my 4th grader’s class is about 40% UMR. We feel very comfortable there.  Lots of diverse families at the school. Many Asian and South asian families there. Also a decent amount of AA.  Not to many Hispanic families though.

Also about admissions, yeah, super hard at 9th. Many recruits come in there, so only really 20 spots of the 30 are for applicants. Most siblings come in at K and 4th.  Many siblings get rejected.   Best entry year is likely 7th grade as they do not recruit at that grade and there are 20 spots. K is also one to want to try as they start there.

4th, 6th and 9th are super competitive with admit rates around 10%.[/quote]
