My kids are in public--6th and 8th and I haven't heard of a drug issue at our MS. I think there was one vape incident. I have heard at our HS level it is a bigger problem. The HS my kids are zoned for to a lesser degree, but their rival HS is well-known for a big issue (and it is predominantly rich white). I know of a few kids in rehab now.
My oldest is applying to private HS, not because of any of this. We are looking for a smaller grade size and more rigorous academics. I only asked the ? because when I mentioned one of the schools he was applying to a mother told me it had a big drug problem. It's not one of the schools mentioned so far. Frankly, this woman tends to make blanket statements without much merit. She also told me my kids' MS had a big bullying problem and kids were getting beat up walking home from school----which was completely NOT true.
What locations work for you?
