[quote=Anonymous]It's a catch 22. If you pick a neighborhood where the schools are mostly UMC, your kid will be competing with those kids for colleges, but they will more than likely have a higher achieving peer group with less (not zero) behavioral issues. However, your kid will always be comparing themselves to the Joneses, as it were. Whereas a school with a mix of SES may have more issues, but there still may be a significant group of higher achieving kids but still tough for college admissions. If your kid goes to a lower SES school but is high achieving, they will have a better shot at elite universities, however, there will likely be more behavioral issue and less higher achieving students (hence a higher chance of elite college admissions from that school). YMMV of course, but I would pick #2. That's what we did.[/quote]
