<p>Don’t laugh too long, Soozie. As you must already know, admissions for preschools can be “serious” business – with an eye toward eventual college placement.</p>
<p>When my D was in preschool & we were shopping for K-8 private schools, the prospective parents at one school were divided into Primary or K-3 level, & intermediate – grade 4+. For the <em>Primary</em> group, the admissions spokesperson rattled off a series of SAT score histories & “college admissions results” for the edification of the potential new families. I found that almost frightening. (And that was 14 yrs ago.) Who knows what was told to the Intermediate group: perhaps <em>grad school</em> admissions results?</p>
<p>Back to the tangent: my D ended up quite by accident going to a preschool where the enrollment was mostly gifted. Everyone in her preschool class is now in prestigious East Coast schools. But as you can see, the admissions may have resulted from the giftedness rather than the preschool. Nevertheless, I know of parents who hunt down such stats & results, & do deliberately seek the “right” or “track” preschools for their children. Too sad.</p>
