[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The rumor from parents with older kids is that she makes a pitch to the admissions team and pressures the teachers not to recommend kids or to provide recommendations that say the child's enrichment needs can be met within the home school. Her pitch to the admissions team is that since there are so many high scoring students they already have a peer group. She makes a big deal about the enrichment at our school - which is non-existent. Its such a specific rumor I'm wondering if a 3rd grade teacher outed her practices to another parents.

I find is very fishy that she makes such a point of saying how she has no involvement with the admissions committee and that there are no teacher recommendations. This clearly doesn't sound true according to other schools. Its also fishy that our school has such low HGC admissions and such high scoring students.

Our school has enrollment problems so losing even a few students would affect staffing. She's bonkers for test scores too. [/quote]

Is this Wyngate? Not my kids' ES, but we are close by and since DC were at HGC, we hear some of the talk and this fits the rumors we here about Wyngate. [/quote]
