[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The acceptance rate is high at 67.8% so it's not a competitive school, its more a safety for high achieving students and a reach only for those who are struggling.

It's also in Allentown Pennsylvania, which is impoverished. [/quote]
Allentown is not “impoverished.” https://www.point2homes.com/US/Neighborhood/PA/Lehigh-Valley-Demographics.html And the school sits in a nice leafy suburb walking distance from downtown.[/quote]

Thank you for this link. It tells us
blue-collar employees account for 25.35%.
over 77k people live below the poverty line
majority of population had "some high school" - 38.96% while 2.96% had "no high school"

It's hardly Bethesda. [/quote]

Right. It isn’t Bethesda. Bethesda is one of the richest suburbs in one of the richest metropolitan areas of one of the richest countries on the planet. If you only want you kid to go to school in a rich bubble that is fine, but most people think it’s a fine thing for college kids to live as neighbors to non-rich people.[/quote]
