Are there a lot of incredible opportunities at the school? Absolutely! Would I send my own kids there? I'm not so sure. That's something we discuss at home often. Are the opportunities worth the potential cost?
I would not send my DD to such a school. Perfectionism is a problem (and one she already has), not a goal.
IMHO, there has to be a better way of judging a school's worth than the formulas in the newspaper.
I ignore any such rankings, because individual results may vary. Besides, there's a lot more to an education than test scores.
