You have to look at more than just the paper ratings when looking at schools. Especially if your child is exceptional in any way at all. If there are special needs (of any kind – GATE/Seminar, ADHD, whatever… anything at all non-typical) you need to look at what each school provides to serve those needs.

No need to get off your high horse – that’s useful. Holmes is what I meant by the good school. But really, I wasn’t talking about grade schools – I was talking middle and high school, and I’ve heard a lot of anecdotal stories that go along with the test scores. Do you plan on sending your kids to Madison when the time comes?
