[quote=Anonymous]I teach at one of the schools listed. I've also taught in a favorite mid level school on here (Robinson/LB/WS/SC level). A child coming from an involved home will be completely fine at the schools you listed. In my experience, the teachers were more involved in students' lives at the lower schools--there's a more lively after school tutoring program, mentoring opportunities, students hanging out with staff for lunch, etc. At the other school, the culture was very much, "If you want something, you have to seek me out and ask for it--it's not my job to figure out what you need." Maybe the school I taught at was just a dud. The downside at the lower schools is there are less elective choices, because a lot of resources go to remedial classes. Instead of jazz band/orchestra/guitar/choir/marching band, there may only be 2 musical options. Instead of 20 sports teams, there may only be 10 or 12.[/quote]
