[quote=Anonymous]As a New Trier grad who went to a hyper-selective college, Level 4 and 5 classes at New Trier prepared me as well if not better than my Thomas Jefferson alumni classmates. Level 4 and 5 classes are the equivalent of the magnet schools that you're discussing. I would say that New Trier is rather unique in that you can take whatever levelling combination for any subject is best for your child. Further, no one bats an eye if you do level 4 for say math and science but level 2 for English, history and foreign language. You're always part of the mainstream. I think you're overthinking it. I think the comments about Illinoisans being not too sharp, I remember something that a mentor once said to me: "Some of the biggest [idiots] come out of the Ivy League." Where you go to high school or college speaks nothing about your intelligence or performance in the workplace. [/quote]
