Regarding what 11:09/12:57 said, "I think BCC is still a really good school. The lower scores in some areas may be down to socio-economic diversity - which is a plus in many peoples' minds." It seems to be that a kid with highly involved parents who have a high degree of educational attainment should do equally well in BCC as in the other schools mentioned above. If so (and that would be my expectation), it seems like I will keep my search in my preferred geographical area.

One last thing: is bullying more / less / the same of an issue in BCC vis-a-vis the other schools?

Thanks

Judge for yourself. Two recent incidents about BCC.

Oh please. A year or two ago Whitman hit the post with kids robbing a grocery store. Every school has some issues.
