[quote=Anonymous]I think the answer is that many parents seek a school with a majority of students with cultural norms that they are comfortable with, because their children---especially as they grow into middle and HS years---will start to look at their peer groups for those norms. For example, I don't want my DD in a school where a number of her peers and the families of her peers are fine with early age out of wedlock pregnancy being the norm. I'm not okay with my DC being in a school where a significant number of peers have family members who may be incarcerated. Similarly, I don't want my DC in an elitist environment either, with peers who have an entitled sense that somehow they enjoy their privileged existence due to the fact that somehow they, or their mom, dad or grandpa, are better than everyone else because they have a larger bank account.
