[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But why is that wrong?  If there are families that are "favorites" at that K-8 level, it seems very likely that they would also be "favorites" at the high school level.  Why wouldn't a high school want kids from those families?

If you ran a high school, wouldn't you be more likely to admit kids from families what were beloved in the parochial schools and parishes?  I would.

It obviously shouldn't be the determining factor in every case, but I don't see a problem with it being a thumb on the scale if two kids are otherwise equal academically.[/quote]

Omg, there’s so much wrong with this I can’t even start. This is totally how K-8 Catholic is though for those of you who haven’t experienced it. 
There were actually teachers who would bump up test scores for kids from ‘preferred families’ to get those kids into the right high school.
I’ll tell you OP that this doesn’t nothing for your kid in the long term as the prime of their achievement in life is 8th -12th grade. You can’t follow them to college and curry favor for them and thus the endless slide into mediocrity begins. And then your angry kid and their new spouse and kids begins the process at their alma mater to begin the cycle anew. [/quote]
