[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We purposely put our kids in a diverse, middle of the pack HS to avoid the extreme ends of the spectrum (lots of entitled, rich kids vs lots of troubled, poor kids). We figured a school in the middle of these would make it easy for our kids to find a good group of friends who share the same interests as them and who care about education; without the pressures or the stress of being in either one of these extreme environments.[/quote]

What does this mean?

What is middle of the pack? [/quote]

GS rating 7, FARM rate between 20-30%.[/quote]

How do you feel it’s working out? Genuine curiosity? [/quote]

We are happy here. Kids have a good number of friends from diverse backgrounds who care about school and while there are plenty of opportunities for advancement/challenge, it's not a pressure cooker either. And  most families here are  just normal, hard working parents who want the best for their kids. There's no snootiness, or kids who drive fancy cars  but we're not in Bethesda or Potomac, so we don't  have that type of wealth here. On the other  other hand, I'm not going to lie there is a small group of kids (as I'm sure there are at other schools) who cause trouble/fights. Most kids know to just stay away from them and my kids don't even mix with them at all. It's about parenting and what you teach your kids. I've always told my kids since they were little to stay out of trouble, find good friends, and work hard. [/quote]

what school are you speaking of? [/quote]

Did you get the drama you were hoping for by digging up this two year old zombie thread? 🤨
