[quote=Anonymous]I think the answers depend somewhat on how close your kids are to going to that high school...are we talking next year or way way down the line (e.g., your kids are in elementary school)?

I went to a Ffx Co. HS with either the lowest or one of the lowest SAT scores.  So it is hard for me to think it really matters too much on the individual level if you still have smart, achieving children. Even at my HS, there were many kids who went to Ivy League and other top schools.  There were just a lot of kids from poor backgrounds as well, but I personally appreciated the socio-economic diversity.

I think this really depends on the kid and how active you are as a parent.  If your children are generally strong performers academically, they may actually benefit from going to this high school instead of .. say ..a Langley.  To a certain extent, the fact that they aren't competing against as many kids from the same school to get into UVA or something is probably a benefit.[/quote]
