[quote=Anonymous]I would not get caught up in those ratings. We bought in to a 10/10 elementary, 10/10 MS and HS area and it's not a happy place. My best friend lives in an UMC place that is not very diverse on the west coast and it sounds a lot like the area you describe. Elementary schools are 10/10 but the high schools are just 7/10 like you wrote. We looked into moving there and found that in our area the districts emphasize testing and high levels of math so the standardized math tests are high. The public high schools where best friend lives require kids to take more arts (2 years) and more humanities (4) classes. They have a different way of looking at success. People there are so much happier than where we are and the HS kids seem to have a really healthy lifestyle balancing school and activities. Many kids in our district in the DMV seem stressed and miserable.[/quote]
