Would you pick a different high school?

<p>If this were our child, we would have probably moved to a different neighborhood that has a better school. We did in fact move to our current neighborhood when our daughter was five so that she could attend better schools. By the time she got to high school, it had been redistricted so she ended up going to a different high school. Although it probably was not quite as prestigious as the one she ended up attending, we have been very happy with the high school that she graduated from. Her high school did an excellent job preparing her for college. In fact she told us after her freshman year that she felt that her courses in college were actually easier than high school. Most of her friends from high school are very smart kids who are attending top-notch colleges. I do have one downside to point out. Since she went to a high school with so many high achieving students, these kids put a huge amount of pressure on themselves to get into the “best” colleges. It was all that she and her friends could talk about during their junior and senior senior year of high school. In my opinion, it just got crazy!</p>
