[quote=Anonymous]Schools are a crap shoot. It really comes down to two things: the child's peers, and the quality of the teacher. That is what determines the test scores. My rule of thumb was the best schools are probably the poorer schools with good outcomes. With that said, when I bought my house (before kids), I only looked at the HS, the price, and my commute. I did not know that we were buying in a particularly desirable location (Louise Archer as the base school). I have been happy will the most of the teachers (exception is the current 5th grade, and the first grade). However, the peers (her friends) exhort a peer pressure to exceed; to learn. That is far more important than the lousy 5th grade teacher.[/quote]
