[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't fathom why you would pay $600k for K - 8 and then send your kid to a SHS. Most of the value of a TT school is in high school.[/quote]

I would rather my kid get the polish and small class sizes of private school when they are young (and avoid public middle which is a shitshow). They can move to SH and not compete with legacies/donors. [/quote]

If you had any knowledge of how college admissions work, you would not say this. Also, there are many excellent public middle schools. My kids went to Booker T on the UWS and it was fantastic. [/quote]

What's wrong with this? [/quote]

The large SHSAT schools are very challenging for college. Hard to get APs, make teams, every single kid is gunning for limited leadership positions. Grading is unforgiving and your GPA might rest on getting lucky by not getting certain teachers known to be incompetent (but cannot be fired, because teachers union). If your kid is reasonably smart, they will look like a superstar coming from a 2T or 3T private, and have far, far better college options.[/quote]
