Private school "lifers" (pre-K through 12) are usually kind of dumb. Either rich kids who just paid for their diploma or "FA faculty kids who get preferential admissions. The kid who is the drug dealer of the class is usually also a "lifer." The kid 
 Who has major learning disabilities and lots 
 Of tutors, usually a "lifer." The kids who come in middle/high school are usually better academically, but lack family connections."

I agree in general that the kids who come in later have a stronger/longer academic record for the school to review. But generalizations about bad behavior is wrong because even really smart kids do stupid things, especially those trying to fit in.  The kids who come into middle school with stellar records are trying to emerge from a crowd of similarly qualified candidates.  Family connections and ability to donate are well represented.

Tisk, tisk. "Lifer" here. I attended a top 20 university with a 3.8 GPA and have a masters degree. 
I never touched drugs and I have a career that I love that does good in the world. Be careful where you point fingers. You look ugly. [/quote]
