[quote=Anonymous]We live in the city (Chicago) but there are suburbs with great schools and more down to earth people - Glenview, Park Ridge, Naperville (west) are a few that quickly come to mind. Why is this North Shore or nothing? I think you are setting up a false choice. I know some really nice people who are second generation North Shore but it is somewhat insular in that way (people from there go back there) and they all say New Trier is a pressure cooker. Highland Park HS is tough right now - lot of lingering trauma from the shooting (this is from a family who was at the parade so maybe just one person's view). In general the Chicago area is great for families, I can't speak to the suburbs since I've lived in the city since moving here 25 years ago but people here are really friendly. Great community feel.[/quote]
