Don't the Palo Alto crowd send their kids to Harker?
- alephnerd 3y agoNope. Harker tends to skews new money and Asian American because it has an entrance exam (SSAT and ISEE), has merit based admissions, and gives scholarships if you have good grades and do well in the exam. Old Money Palo goes to Woodlands, Woodside Priory, and Menlo School, or Palo Alto High Lots of parents would buy houses or rent in crappy parts of East SJ to save enough money to sends both kids to Harker The reason that new money (like me) tries to buy a house in Palo is so we can send our kids to PAUSD. A lot of the born and raised crowd who were kids of hippies are fairly racist to the newer generation of Asian, Pacific Islander, Israeli+Eastern European, and Latino Americans on the Peninsula. At this point I might as well buy a semi-rural house in San Benito County and spend the same amount donating a couple department libraries and Named Lecturer positions to my Alma mater for legacy benefits tbh.
