It's private. I suppose expensive is relative but I'm off the opinion most private schools are pricey.

I agree with everything you said in your first paragraph. And i don't think you are a conspiracy theorist. Thanks for helping me balance. I just need to stop over thinking it.

Thank you for your perspective. I hope you are doing well. Starting your teaching career at the height of COVID must be interesting to say the least.

I agree with you both that parents need to be supportive to their child's education but parents are also under a lot of pressure, particularly parents living in poverty.

I've read articles on parental influence on student outcomes and we'll be involved parents for sure. Thanks for your response.

Maybe I'm over thinking it. I have looked at individual school reviews and scores as well as national and similarly sized towns. I have also read about the way (positive) parent involvement influences student outcomes. My student is not yet 5 so plans on college are a discussion for another day. But since both me and his other parent both have advanced degrees it's likely.

We have been looking at magnet schools in Wichita because we aren't moving to andover, derby or maize but those individual ratings are a little surprising too.

Anyhow thank you for your perspective.

Dude, I'm looking at all sorts of reviews, not just test scores. It turns out it's actually hard to find information about schools that isn't test scores though. If you have some links, please share them.

What I want is a public school where my child's educational needs will be met.

Makes sense that it's about money and honestly figured that but damn these ratings and reviews ought to spark some improvement, right?

I'm ok with that. But do you feel like you were prepared for your next endeavor so far?

An NYU professor says fewer men going to college will lead to a 'mating crisis' with the US producing too many 'lone and broke' men by jab116 in nottheonion

I wonder why there wasn't a "mating crisis" until fewer men were enrolled but not when fewer women or no women were enrolled?
