I disagree with you. At the end of the day, the perception is that this will be catering more to the right, so even if that's not what they say, that is who will apply.
It's personally not for my family, but I'm happy to have more schools in town because it will free up the burden on other schools.
The real question is, when will someone start a non-Bais Yaakov frum highschool for girls here?!? That is a very pressing need.
There was one started some years ago but it only lasted a few years before it fell apart.
