Private schools often take kids who would be forced to attend really bad schools. My husband went to school at Mount St. Michael's in the Bronx. His school was so scary in Middle School, he carried a knife. You can't educate kids in that environment. His older sisters pooled their money and sent him to Mount St. Michael's for High School. He thrived there and won scholarships. Hubs is an engineer and I seriously doubt he would have made it out of public school in the Bronx...he would have quit. Mount St. Michael's is a diverse school...all nationalities and colors...great school and they do a great job. Parent want to send their kids to the best schools they can...and that is certainly not racist.
