[quote=Anonymous]Edison. Lots of opportunités in sports, arts and student government. My kids also love the internationalish mix of students there. Also a small cadre of military kids who have lived all over the world. It has everything contemporary public high schools have including driven hard-working kids, truants, honor society and some cyber mean ness. Teachers are pretty receptive to giving after school help and want to see kids succeed. That said, they have a large roster and grading is mostly formulaic, not individual feedback. The IB program is demanding enough to offer sound college prep. Again, it's not offering prep school level individualisation but there's enough to challenge bright kids. Only caveats: kids should be able to seek out what they need, or learn to, and make sure they get the text books they need. My kids were offered private and don't want to leave.[/quote]
