[quote=Anonymous]The fact of the matter is that high-SES families on the hill are a pretty diverse group.  Some are academically motivated and want their kids to be on a path to the best colleges.  Some value diversity more than academic outcome and are ok with their kid getting 4s and maybe some 3s on the parcc as long as the kid is having a happy school experience and learning the good soft skills that a diverse environment provides.  Some are saving up for private high school and figure that their kids will make up for any academic lost ground then.  Some parents are aware that their kids are not academic all stars and a school that provides just a “grade level” education is adequate bc their kids wouldn’t test into the advanced tracks elsewhere anyhow.  Counting the number of Maury kids at EH doesn’t prove anything.  Decide what your values are and decide if the hill schools align.  For most families not aiming for a public path to the ivies, the hill schools are fine.  If you have a very smart kid and want to keep them in public, hill schools probably aren’t for you.  [/quote]
