[quote=Anonymous]Demographics being what they are, the *average* student at the fancier privates -- and some of the non-fancy privates -- is going to be 90th percentile. IQ is highly heritable, and parents that care enough about education to spend private school tuition dollars and have the dollars to spend are going to typically provide a more enriched environment, so the boost comes in both directions. For what it's worth, I have two 99th percentile kids that are doing very well at a no-name Classical Christian school; the public magnet programs for which they would otherwise have qualified have smoked the techno-crack, and those kids are 2E enough that the environment would have severely impacted their learning.[/quote]
