[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on how you define school quality.  Did you actually research whether people are happy with the school or just go by Great Schools?  [/quote]

Using the population that is attending the school is a terrible way to judge the quality of the education.[/quote]

It is, but there is NO objective way to measure quality teaching.  And let's face it, kids from poor families generally have lower educational aspirations.  [b]Go to a school with a low GreatSchools.com rating and those kids will be your child's peers. They will be soaking up a culture of low expectations.[/b]  I lived in a poor neighborhood in Alabama as a kid.  My parents were great and always encouraged education. But at age 11, I literally believed that most people had sex by age 13. Why? Because that is what my neighborhood friends said. And did. And my school friends didn't talk about sex so they never told me any different.  For the record, I didn't have sex until late teens. And I have a Ph.D.[/quote]

Point taken, but let's keep in mind that your kids are most likely to be friends with the kids they have the most in common with--generally, the ones in their same classes.  If your child is smart and motivated, he or she will be in AP and honors classes with the other smart and motivated kids.
