[quote=Anonymous]Another New Trier alum here.

I would 100% raise a family in one of the New Trier suburbs. One of the major pluses is the geography, it is flat with sidewalks everywhere, which means kids can be so independent because you can get to any of your friends' houses easily on foot or by bike, and the towns are small enough that there's usually adult nearby who knows your kid and will look out for them. There's also a great little downtown area in most of the towns (not Kenilworth). Winnetka is a great community and yes of course there are kids who grow up with the pressure to get into whatever Ivy their parents went to, there's also a lot of normal families who don't put that kind of pressure.

I think the upside of a New Trier is you can be a less-than-motivated student and you can't help but come out of there with a fantastic education.

Also, I know most people think about college for the Alumni connections, but don't count out the crazy high school pride New Trier grads have and how that helps with the job search in their 20s.
