[quote=Anonymous]Pay attention to high school pyramid before you narrow down the elementary school. It doesn't pay if your elementary school is great but you ends up in a mediocre high school where the college application matters the most. Second, school quality is usually decided by the family background the students came from. In a "good" school, many students have academic enrichment programs that makes the test score go up. So don't think if your child get into a "good" elementary school he/she will be automatically better off. I think the goal is to enter into a "good-enough" elementary school so that your child won't have distractions in class and the school community is supportive and teachers are happy. The outcome of being in the "best" elementary school or a good-enough one probably would be the same. Do not obsessed with the "best", is what I am trying to say. [/quote]
