Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 5282738, member: 5787"] This. The PreK-8th school where I teach has a handful of students who graduate and head to private schools like La Lumiere, in where they are real schools with real acceptance rates...but then alternative acceptance rules for "athletes only" depending on the school's quota. Especially in Fairfield County. Plenty are competitive schools to get into, but they have a small fraction of students that are simply there just because they are good athletes. I was chatting with a math department head from one of the school our graduates matriculate into...super competitive school, but they have to literally make up classes (especially at the higher graders) for the athletes that are weaker students just to appease the NCAA. The names of some of these 11th and 12th grade classes are hilarious. [/QUOTE]
