[quote=Anonymous][quote]3. Since admissions are competitive, [u]the student body [i]should[/i] be more uniformly high-performing, [/u]so that the range between the extremes is smaller.[/quote] I think this gets at OP's premise, way back when 5 pages ago. You would think this, but you might be wrong. At least in the early grades. I have been truly surprised at the range in *apparent* ability in my child's class. I am pretty sure -- no, I am certain -- that this gaping difference in abilities is a logical and direct result of the school's intentional pursuit of a diverse student body. In every sense of that word. Also, the guaranteed sibling admission policy, barring psychosis or profound mental retardation.[/quote]
