Baby Ivies are prestigious schools that provide early educational skills to infants. Parents want their children to receive the best education possible to receive success later in life. 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. Private schools receive all their funding from local, state, and federal government and sometimes from donations or parent fundraising.
Demographics and students
Private schools are almost always located in central cities or large towns. Students population 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 White, 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. Private schools has less enrollment of minority students because the enrollment patterns mirrored neighborhood segregation.
