[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP.  When you peel away perception of prestige, then I think you have to go to how hard/challenging is the curriculum and how well do they teach it?  And look at this not in terms of honors track but regular classes.[/quote]

This. So much this.

We erroneously assumed so much based on the schools reputation, which was driven by college apps and SAT scores, only to find out there was dismal teaching and materials in the other divisions.

Now I realize Op is asking for high school feedback. The top public high schools and top private upper schools do not mess around here. you’ll truly be fine anywhere so pick based on budget, preferred sport or coach, desired club or EC, and size of grade. dC has small 120-140 pp per grade in private to 250 at SJC to 500-900 per grade in the large country public HSs. They are all well resourced. K-8 I wish we went public for all our children. And then either stayed or made a change to a targeted program based on the student needs. [/quote]
