scisa - you miss one very significant point. AMHS is a publicly funded academic institution who's admissions are based on academics. They have little if any control over who does or does not apply. And oh by the way afluence has nothing to do with getting into AMHS either.
BE and CCES are private schools who can and will recruit and subsidize athletes as long as they meet other academic requirements. No way you say - sorry but when my son was in high school up here it was experienced by players he knew.
