Parents: The pressure’s on you, too

Time to step it up. Don’t leave education up to teachers or the initiative of your kids. If you want your child to get into the most competitive private high schools in the country, you have almost no room for error. This year, applicants from the wealthiest of four socio-economic tiers needed an almost perfect score on a 900-point scale to gain admission. The learning environment and instructional quality are superior to neighborhood high schools, and selective high school graduates are likely to have more and better choices available to them, which is, after all, the goal of every parent and educator.
