[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP- I don’t think the Montana analogy is a stretch at all. When we were looking to move out of state, I started comparing SAT scores and AP pass rates between Wakefield and the new “9” school to which we would be zoned in the Midwest. The stats were very similar. It was very eye opening about how much veiled racism plays a part in these discussions, and how much hand wringing I was doing over nothing. My kids would have been fine st Wakefield. They would likeky have been fine at Langley as well, but [b]I truly am weary of affluent teenagers. My husband went to an extremely wealthy high school. Pitfalls galore. [/b]I’m not concerned that only 12 kids are going to UVA. THats a ridiculous concern.[/quote] There are "pitfalls" at every high school. Lower income schools have gangs and violence. You won't find the "perfect" high school with zero pitfalls anywhere.[/quote]
