[quote=Anonymous]My experience is that a motivated, bright, kid will do just fine anywhere as long as there is a cohort of other bright motivated kids. My kids have are at a GS6 elementary school, and GS9 middle school. The elementary school is FINE and my kids have have arrived at middle school just as prepared as peers coming from higher ranked schools. They've had high performing peers all along, to the point that it really hasn't mattered that there were also kids learning English, or with learning differences or whatever. For us, it made more sense to live in a community we liked, with a reasonable commute, and know that job loss or illness wasn't going to plunge our family into poverty. We've been able to save aggressively, but also to provide the kids with amazing extracurriculars, all because we bought a home we could afford and trusted our kids to do their best. [/quote]
