My children are in the EUSD. I will give you that the scores are close BUT the scores aren’t what make those schools great. The parent involvement at those schools is unreal. A teacher could sneeze and there are parents lined up to offer tissue.
I have contemplated SEH but to be honest I don’t want my kids at SMHS and I don’t want them in private school. Sounds snooty but I know for a fact that there are many people like me who will pay the premium.
