[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only school administrators really know where children are applying for high schools because they forward along the transcripts.  The application process can be very stressful for kids and parents and not everyone is eager to share this information.  As I said, I know of three families who applied unsuccessfully to "top schools" but there might have been more that chose not to share.

Everyone is sincere in the process but not everyone thinks the "top schools" is where they want their children to go for high school. [/quote]
