[quote=Anonymous]Staples is much better than the local private (Greens Farms Academy).  It has incredible arts, theater and sports programs. Kids I knew at GFA left public for a small school or because parents went to private.  My classmates have gone on to do incredible things including multiple McArthur Genius Award winners. There were, if I remember correctly, 12 National Merit Finalists in my class and at least 25 commended.  I found college quite easy after being at Staples. One sibling went private (we moved when he was already in high school and he still wishes he had transferred to Staples).

Diverse it is not. I can count on my hands the number of kids of color in my graduating class. And those kids who are of color are very well off. I just looked at the 2023 IG college page and it looks like it’s still very homogenous.  That being said I had parents who valued hard work and exposure to diversity. I had friends in local towns from different schools and a job for most of my junior/senior years. [/quote]
