[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do many of the children in the surrounding neighborhood(s) attend other schools? I've always wondered why the school has the reputation that it does, as it is not located in an economically depressed neighborhood. [/quote] It's a Jewish neighborhood, fairly Orthodox, and therefore has a high percentage of kids in religious schools. This is the main reason. In our actual experience with the school, the reputation was undeserved. Odessa taught my family that Great Schools and FARMS rates are not reasons to reject a school. If you are uncomfortable with immigrant families, or people who are socially not like you, or culturally different, it may not be the school for you. But those families also value education. Also have highly intelligent children. Also want them to succeed. [/quote]
