This study explores the experiences and perceptions of parents whose children prepared for admission to the Onassis Public Schools. Using a structured questionnaire distributed electronically, 77 valid responses were collected. The analysis revealed that preparation focused mainly on Language and Skills Tests, with less emphasis on Mathematics and interview practice. Parents reported varying levels of satisfaction with the quality of preparation, while many children experienced stress during the process. Both parental and tutoring support were often considered insufficient, resulting in diverse experiences regarding the contribution of psychological assistance.
Concerning attendance at the Onassis Schools, evaluations were predominantly negative, as many parents mentioned serious or manageable adjustment difficulties, while tutoring preparation was regarded as inadequate for meeting the schools’ high demands. Statistically, no significant differences were observed across demographic factors, indicating that parental experiences were not influenced by these variables. However, correlation analyses showed that longer preparation hours were associated with a more negative evaluation of schooling, while greater satisfaction with the preparation was linked to a more positive overall assessment. Overall, the study highlights the need to strengthen psychological support and improve the quality of preparatory programs, rather than merely increasing the number of instructional hours.
