[b]A neighborhood where parents care about their children's education[/b] and have the money to invest in it.

There's no secret. It's not the school itself, they all follow the same program and have the same teachers. It's the community that changes the nature of the school.

The end.

I have met very few parents who don't care about their children's education.[/quote]

Right, but I think the second part of PP's answer is critical. Everyone wants what's best for their kids, but unfortunately if they don't have the money to invest in their kid's educations, the outcomes won't necessarily be all that great. You need both. [/quote]

I don’t live in a W cluster and we supplement heavily (tutoring, Mathnasium, academic camps, etc). So how do you know what people in a neighborhood are doing without asking them? [/quote]

But reading this, sounds like a W school is not a good school. It is a school where a lot of parents have to (and can) supplement with camps, tutoring, and special programs.

I don't live in a W area, but can afford to do all those things (and have the time and motivation). [/quote]
