[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- Take much of the advice with a grain of salt, but consider this -- if you're interested in gaining a PK3 seat without a sibling preference you'll likely be looking at long odds at Brent or Maury, and in two year possibly even Ludlow Taylor.  I'd rank SWS highly but without an older sib you'll be looking at long odd there as well.

Peabody has the most ECE seats and it's an excellent program in a modernized building.  It's not a lock for PK3 but it's not a longshot either.  Watkins will be modernized by the time you're looking at 1st and there will likely be momentum from [b]the largely inbound population rising from Peabody[/b].  Watkins has had some issues to which the mountains of DCUM posts will attest (and take those with a grain of salt too), but in 5 years it will likely look different than today and there is a lot of potential. Watkins' building is larger than Brent or Maury and the size can be a turnoff for some families.[/quote]

[b]What is the Peabody inbound population like in terms of SES?[/b][/quote]

Any info regarding the bolded question?[/quote]

The only actual data on that point would be FARMS.  Ironically, here's one situation where that data is actually not code for anything else. But that only tells you the bottom end. There is no way of knowing what the remainder is because that data isn't published or known to schools. That will not stop people on this board from chiming in like they know, mind you. But please keep in mind that people on this forum like to talk about "going private" as if finding another 30-50k a year for 4-9 years is not a big deal. If you think looking at demographic data is useful then you can look at that. But if you understand that race doesn't necessarily equal SES then you're out of luck.

But forget the logic, wait for the DCUM "experts" to weigh in. Just bring your salt lick. [/quote]

PP here on original response about Peabody.  The question is ill-informed and beneath an response.  Draw your own conclusions.[/quote]
