[quote=Anonymous]Base this stuff on your child's individual experience instead of a random website's rankings. Is your child doing well in honors classes and getting something out of them? Is your child motivated, and a self-starter? Can they bounce back from failure? If so, they will do fine. They have the building blocks of success. My spouse went to one of the worst-rated high schools in the country and now has a Ph.D. Turned down Yale and Stanford for grad school. I went to a small-town, rural high school that isn't even on Great Schools. Three-fourths of my classmates either didn't go to college or earned an associate's degree at the local community college. I went on to earn a master's degree from a great program at a well-known university. It's about hard work, and self motivation. Smart kids find a way to rise to the top and do well no matter their zip code. [/quote]
