It’s not just the schools. Places with good schools are more likely to have good neighbors. If your a family, you want to be around other families like yours. And CV for better or worse is seen as a good place to raise a family.

Unfortunately, we moved two doors away from my friend, Gretchen, who single handedly corrupted me at the age of 10.
It only takes one trouble maker on the block to do it.
IMO it’s better to scope out the neighborhood that you’re moving to before hand, no matter where it is and check out the kids, then supervise them really well so that you know what they’re up to.fredo4

Participant[quote=Dukehorn]Based on some of the logic here, I guess I should spend more time at redstate.com and whatever creationists/anti science blogs are out there if I want to be “well-informed” about science.
Considering that I’ve worked with blastocysts before and that most of the people who talk @#$@ about stem cells probably doesn’t know what the word means. I think I’ll pass.
[/quote]That’s taking the suggestion a bit far. There are usually non-wingnut opinions on both sides of most issues.

Participant[quote=lizzers]One thing that I don’t think anyone has touched on yet is how your child feels. I think either choice – a CV public school or a private school will provide a good academic environment, but if your child is unhappy it won’t matter.
I went to all of them in San Diego–public, private, and parochial. I had great experiences at some, not so great experiences at others. There was a year when I was miserable…when my parents saw this they pulled me out and I chose where I wanted to go. As a result, I excelled academically and my overall happiness improved greatly.
Another important point is extracurricular activities..it is no longer about who has the highest SAT score. Universities are looking for well rounded individuals.

I never wanted to go to my all girl High school at the time- what sane teenager would?
The work was harder, they called your home everytime you missed school so no one could get away with ditching and there were NO boys.
Now I’m happy that my parents made me go. I got an infinately better education and because it was just expected that everyone went to college after high school, everyone did. In fact, in most of the Catholic high schools that I’ve ever checked out future college attendance is over 98%. -
