I am beginning to think that what school your kids go to is a status symbol for some parents. If you can't afford private school, the next best thing is to brag about how great the public school you got your kid into is. And for it to be a status symbol it has to be devoid of poor children.

There are plenty of families who can afford private who prefer the public schools.

I don't think it makes sense to brag about "getting your kid into" a school they attend soley by virtue of their address.  On the other hand, the higher-ranked public schools often have a good sense of community and a high level of student and parent involvement in school-related activities.  If you take pride in that, it may come across as arrogant.

I don't doubt that kids can find challenging classes at most area public schools.  Most local public school systems are pretty good.  But do they attend a school where most people actually seem to be excited and take pride in the school, or challenge one another to do better?  That may be a bit harder.
