  • It's a public school so "acceptance" is based school population, geography and various other items. And I don't make anywhere near $250k a year but my child excels there. It is a very good school with an active and involved PTA.

  • Not a school I would send the rest of my kids to. The population of students are very snooty. Teachers were never teaching when I observed. My child did not learn much of anything while at that school. If you make at least $250,000 a year that is what type of kids are "accepted" at that school. Very poor communication skills and big time teacher turn over rate!
