[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things change.  None of those people are involved.  I wouldn’t think twice but I also would have looked into the school my kids attend far more than you appear to have done.  How did you NOT know?  I typically research things before entrusting my kids to them and spending tens of thousands.[/quote]

It's the best-rated school in the area and was highly recommended by the transient crowd we hang around with (which explains why THEY didn't appear to know). Thought we couldn't go wrong.[/quote]

“Best” by what metrics?[/quote]

Graduation and college attendance rates, plus reading scores. They're abysmal in the local public schools (85% 4-year graduation rate and 30% of 3rd graders reading at grade level). [/quote]

Private schools don’t do reading assessments so you likely don’t know the reading levels. Also, since is a private school with families of privileged, you aren’t really comparing apples to apples. Do you really think sending your kids to a public school with some kids that are economically disadvantaged would somehow not allow them to read at grade level?

Did you not Google the school before you cut them a check? [/quote]

You're really telling a parent to CHOOSE the district with those numbers?  :shock: [/quote]

Yes. Lots of kids go to the “district with those numbers.” Is your kid going to put on a college app that they were too good and too special to go school with THOSE KIDS, so they had “no choice” to attend a segregation academy instead?[/quote]
