[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seattle private schools are increasingly hard to get into because of changes with not only SPS but also Eastside school districts. My kids’ kindergarten class had ten applicants for one seat. [/quote] Evergreen, UCDS, SCDS or Bush? [/quote] Evergreen. Interestingly all the private schools in Seattle are rather mediocre, with exception of Lakeside although I think it’s becoming more mediocre with the new HOS and his DEI focus. All these schools take some of the smartest and affluent population of kids (some like SCDS and Evergreen with high IQ test cut offs) and don’t do much with them. These are kids whose parents went to Ivies and MIT and after 13 years of private school, a majority of them could barely muster UW. Until the recent SPS changes to advanced learning, it was actually the public schools that had some of the most accelerated curriculum and that is still true on the Eastside. [/quote]
