[quote=Anonymous]I know that everyone wants to believe the narrative that only the rich and connected have access to schools like HYPS, but the evidence from our experience at SFS doesn't support. Sure, the school attracts a disproportionate number of highly educated parents. But, HYPS affiliated parents are a dime a dozen in the DC area. And of the 20 kids from my daughter's class now attending HYPS, you wouldn't be able to find the parents of 18 of them if you googled them. It is a good school that attracts very good students. It then makes them work hard, focusing on the right things such critical thinking over multiple choice test taking. I can understand not subscribing to their educational philosophy or culture. The bona fides as a prep school are pretty hard to dispute.[/quote]
