Trying to avoid schools with heavy pot use

Lindagaf, you are the second person to tell me that Rochester would be a very good fit for my son. I am going to start researching it. I didn’t say all of this before, but my son has very good grades and decent scores, but is not super studious or into academics just for the sake of learning. For this reason, we took William and Mary off the list. My son also does theater and a cappella group at school, but does not want to major in theater. He is interested in social work or education. We need a progressive enough environment that he will feel comfortable (he attends the most diverse-in-every-way high school in our state) but as I said before, the “hippie” schools that kids around here like are too risky for him. I think he will like a lively mix of creative, smart but not competitive, liberal-leaning students, not too Greek or preppy, but not so politically liberal that microaggressions dominate the landscape. I know, a tall order.
