[quote=Anonymous]OP, YY isn't in high demand because it's a serious Chinese immersion program, as PPs love to claim on these boards. Look in California, MoCo, New York or the Carolinas for one of those. Not at all. The school's in high demand because the Mandarin requirement works brilliantly to deter most poor families from applying, enabling the rest to fall into place (nurturing environment, strong test scores for English and math, fundraising mechanisms in high gear, fun sleepover field trips, great playground, long WL etc.) They've got a FARMs rate on a par with JKLM and Brent, way down from their FARMs rate ten years ago. There are schools in Upper NW with a higher percentage of poor kids (Hearst, Stoddert). YY parents and admins don't want to admit how this works, but it's more than obvious. [/quote]
