[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here but have came to post almost exact same question as OP. Strongly considering Lexington. What does it mean that Lexington is a pressure cooker? How would it compare to top privates or publics in DC area? How are they for kids who need learning supports? [/quote] MANY public schools around Boston are pressure cookers. The public schools are very good, but you also get kids who are expected to achieve and parents who are very achievement-oriented. AP classes, extracurriculars, etc...it's a highly educated population and people are driven. Lexington is also a total burb -- whereas other top schools like Brookline or Newton are more urban, so I feel like may be a bit more diverse just in terms of why people live there, whereas if you're in Lexington it's for the schools. Same with AB.[/quote]
