[quote=Anonymous]This is so hard. We chose the good pyramid when we bought our starter home, and financially it was hard for awhile. I had a terrible experience in middle school and didn't want that for my children. It is fine now, as our incomes grew much faster than our mortgage. If our incomes had not grown, the hardest thing would have been the expectation of my children's peers that they can afford to do anything they want. It is pervasive here- and it seems everyone is going on international vacations for every school break, in addition to private lessons for every sport and activity. Now that my kids are middle school aged, I'm really glad that they are in a school where they are physically safe- but there are many places in the county that would be possible. We have good friends the same age in a poorly rated pyramid, and they are doing great. I wish the county still published the violent incident report, because I think that is info that is absolutely key to this decision.[/quote]
