Educational pricing for Middle School students
My daughter attends 6th grade and she is required by her school to buy an iPad. Why is she not eligible for the educational pricing?
We are all users of Apple products here at the Apple Support Communities, so it may be better that you contact Apple directly to, hopefully, get an answer to your question.
One possibility is that Apple may not "recognize" her school, and thus, it would not be eligible for the educational discount.
