School for professor's brats. The name is suitably pretentious. Developed as a recruitment tool for faculty.
Not to be confused with the Columbia Science, Math and Engineering Secondary School.
In order to build it, Columbia struck a compromise with the neighborhood, reserving half the spots for local children who'd get in by lottery. [1]. The community threw multiple hissy fits in the process, even though they were promised half the seats and need based financial aid. [2]. Then they threw more hissy-fits. [3]
After 3 years, Columbia had to tell faculty there wasn't enough room in the school for their kids anymore. Oops. [4]. Hell, even the normally unabashedly pro-community Spectator called it ridiculous. <ref>Failing 'The School' - The Spectator, 9-26-2005<ref>
