[quote=Anonymous]If the K-8s are implying an elite high school acceptance is possible for everyone, they're not being honest. Space just doesn't allow it. There are probably 8 popular k-8 schools around here. Each Big3 has about 20-40 spots for 9th. Let's say you give 25% of Big3 spots to public school kids. Maybe 10% to parochial school kids or kids coming from out-of-town. That leaves maybe 65% of spots for K-8 kids. Let's say there are 100 Big3 spots total (if you include 4 schools). That's 60 for K-8 kids kids or 7.5 per school. That sound about right. 7-8 kids combined admitted per K-8 to NCS/STA/Sidwell/GDS. It's not a giant conspiracy--it's a space/numbers issue. The only issue is if the K-8s are implying admission is routinely possible. [/quote]
