[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids are only elementary school aged but are bright. DH and I were just talking hypotheticals but DH thinks that our child's chances of getting into a competitive college would be better from Edison High compared to TJ.[/quote]

What is your point?[/quote]
Seriously?   :roll:

OP's post REEKED of of the disgusting "PUSH PUSH PUSH" attitude of so many parents in this area.  Weighing the merits of "special" high schools while your kids are still in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL???  In one of the best school districts in the entire country??? That's just sick.[/quote]

OP here. I attended a magnet high school and do have an ivy league education. My high school had spectacular stats but the teachers were pretty awful. It was also in an urban environment and overcrowded. The school was highly focused on how many AP exams each student took and how many kids scored a 4 or a 5 on those exams. I made amazing friends but the teachers were pretty awful. I personally would not want that for my children. On the other hand, DH attended a normal average high school and was in all honors/AP classes. His high school experience seems much more well rounded.[/quote]
