[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The cost is worth it in MS or HS, not elementary school. [/b] We went from public JKLM to private MS.[/quote] [b]True, but you can't expect to go from JKLM to private in one jump at MS[/b]. Maybe an independent that isn't "Big 3" or parochial but there's just nothing to make even a great kid stand out. They're almost better off coming from EOTP with anything that gives the admissions committee a reason for a second look.[/quote] Huh[b]? Dozens of kids do this every year...[/b][/quote] You are so ignorant. There are only a few dozen spots TOTAL at the Big 3 for 6th grade entry each year. (Having just gone through this). Some of them have 5 spots total (e.g. STA) and 3 or 4 of these 5 will go to siblings or legacy kids. Sidwell takes about 10 (but 1/2 girls, 1/2 boys) GDS has more (15-20?) but it's still not easy to get into these schools. I know many kids who were shut out this year. [/quote]
