[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what your bar is re: schools, but I looked at Oak Park and Evanston (lived in one of those cities while thinking about where to settle) and the schools are not good enough for me. I wouldn't say that IRL, but I'll say it here. TBH we ended up in an area feeding to the Glenbrooks and it's not really good enough compared to the DMV mindset.[/quote]I'm in a Glenbrook feeder. It's fine. My oldest is in 5th and in gifted math and reading. I think the reading curriculum is pretty spectacular. The school offers supports where my child is struggling - and without parents asking. I opted out of New Trier, where I attended. I mean, I want my kids to like learning and not get caught up in the crazy pressure cooker that I was part of and that I understand has only gotten worse. My kids don't need to go to Ivies. If they succeed at GBS, college will be petty manageable. [/quote]
