Here's your constructive feedback: Great Schools is just a number. It by no means gives the full picture of the entire school. If you are only focused on test scores, then compare apples to apples. If your kids are white, then compare the pass rates of the 9 school and the 5 school. If they're black, then compare the pass rates of black students at both schools. School 5 may be a Title1 school which to some here is awful and to others a great thing. If it is a Title 1 school, the class sizes will be smaller and there will be more instructional support and resources. Perhaps both the mom and your husband value diversity and School 5 offers that over School 9. Maybe School 9 has kids in trailers and that's not okay with the mom. Perhaps mom visited the School 5 and really liked the principal and the feel of the school. The bottom line is that no one factor can decide whether a school is a good fit for one family. And what's important for one family may not be important to another. [/quote]
