I am writing a book about private school and I need some very fast, reliable research done about education and private schools. Specifically, anything that answers the following questions: --Do children who go to pre-school do better in kindergarten than children who don't? --Has pre-school enrollment grown or gotten more competitive in recent years? --Is the number of pre-schools on the rise? --How difficult is it to get into pre-school? --What are prerequisites for getting into a great pre-school (I need specific criteria of the best schools)? --What are the top pre-schools in the country? --What are average pre-school admissions rates? --What admissions test are typically needed to get into these schools? --I need the answers to the same list of questions for kindergarten, middle school, and high school. Here are my requirements for the deliverable data: --Findings must give real statistics--not just quotes about somebody's opinion. --This research must be airtight and from reliable sources. That means widely respected news publications or official agencies or institutes that conduct studies. The better news publications always cite their sources, so if you read a statistic in the New York Times that cites the source, please track down the original and send me that. I am willing to pay a very fair price to the person who can do this with high quality and accuracy. A well-done job will earn a lot more business with some other research I need help with. Please send a personal note (not a template response) about why you think you can do this job. Those without a track record of great work on Elance will not be considered. Look at my record. I have a high award rate, I pay with escrow, and I hire the same great providers again and again if they do a great job for me.
