Baby Ivies

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Baby Ivies are prestigious schools that provide early educational skills to infants. Baby Ivies provide high standard sets and engage their students by giving them a desire to learn. Therefore, these high expectations of academic rigor account for above-average grades. Baby Ivies are private schools owned and governed by entities that are independent of any government — typically, religious bodies or independent boards of trustees. Private schools also receive funding primarily from nonpublic sources: tuition payments and often other private sources, such as foundations, religious bodies, alumni, or other private donors.[1] Private schools receive all their funding from local, state, and federal governments and sometimes from donations or parent fundraising.

Demographics and students[edit]

Private schools are almost always located in central cities or large towns. Student populations at Ivy League schools vary in basic demographic measures that include race and ethnicity, limited-English proficiency status, and the family’s socioeconomic background. According to the article "Private Schools a Brief Portrait", Martha Naomi Alt and Katharin Peter found that in 1999–2000, 77 percent of all private school students were Euro-American, compared with 63 percent of all public school students (figure 3). The private school sector as a whole had lower proportions of black and Hispanic students than the public school sector as a whole, and no difference was detected between the sectors in the proportion of Asian students.[1] Private schools has lower enrollment of minority students because the enrollment patterns mirrored neighborhood segregation.
