I beleive the school you are referring to is Mirman.. And the whole money thing could not be further from the truth. It is the least money school in town (granted that might not be saying much in LaLa Land)...We attend there and at least 40% of the school is granted some kind of financial aid... That, plus there is a new head master who is the best head master in the city... The place has done a 180 in 2 years. It is magnificent! Can't say enough good things about it... And it gets better all the time. Getting in is really difficult as the applicants far out number the spots available. But that is true anywhere in LA. Before you judge something... Go check it out yourself! You will be glad you did. I can't speak for people who, sadly, had a negative experience there, but we are thrilled to be there and very happy with the results thus far.
