Comments on: Homeowners’ Quest for the Best Schools https://www.isegoria.net/2017/03/homeowners-quest-for-the-best-schools/ From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small Sun, 05 Jul 2026 15:50:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Bill https://www.isegoria.net/2017/03/homeowners-quest-for-the-best-schools/comment-page-1/#comment-2545047 Bill Thu, 16 Mar 2017 04:20:02 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=41593#comment-2545047 I looked up the results for the college town high school that my kids attended. GreatSchools gave it a “10″ but I thought it had declined significantly in quality since I went there in the Seventies. I’ll testify to the higher home costs, though.

I think that my alma mater’s GreatSchools rating is more of a testimony to the fact that most students are the children of professors or doctors. The faculty of the university and the associated medical school has the demographics you’d expect.
