From Harlow Unger's `How To Pick A Perfect Private School'--Part 4:

In his 1999 book, How To Pick A Perfect Private School, Harlow Unger indicated from where the U.S. power elite’s undemocratic private school system tends to select its student body:

“…Unlike public schools, private schools can pick the kids they want…Now that may sound elitist to some…Most private schools limit their enrollment…

“…There are a lot of private school children from extremely wealthy families. About one-third come from families with annual incomes of more than $100,000 [in 1999 money]…More than 16 percent of the kids at private schools in America are students of color, including…Asian-American…students. Foreign students make up an additional 3 percent of the student population at independent schools…

“…The prestigious Lawrenceville School, in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, near Princeton, reaches outside the community to draw children…Its student body includes children from about 20 nations. In Lakeville, Connecticut, at the Hotchkiss School, a famed preparatory school that sends about one-third of its graduates to Ivy League…colleges,…10 percent are foreign nationals. At…Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, half the seniors go to Ivy League schools each year…About 10 percent are international students…”
