What a cluster@#$@ of a thread. Here’s an easy way to look at it. If tuition for private school for my two kids is 25k each year for 7 years, at a minimum, I’m willing to toss in that extra $350k into a house with a junior high/high school rated in the 850s or above–easy, no questions asked.
I might be willing to drop my kids down into a lower scoring school but it would be nice for them to have AP classes. I wouldn’t drop them into a 600s scoring high school ever. I agree with flu that having a discourse on college admissions scoring students higher from a worse performing high school is a stupid thread piece–is spdrun going to give us sociology studies about what happens when kids are extremely bored at school for 7 straight years. hint, it usually doesn’t turn out well.
