For fun, he looked up his elementary, jr high, and senior high schools, and added up the total score. He got 7 total points. I however scored 26 points (my parents were better off apparently). But he is the big bread winner, and the fact that he went to some of the worst schools in Denver didnt stop him, like was mentioned there are good teachers in bad schools, and vice versa. His mother was absolutely devoted and they read together every day. The more I have researched these "great schools" the more convinced I have become that its the parents that matter, and the desire to learn they instill in their children. Not to mention I loathed every one of those 9 schools I attended.

Can anyone tell me about East HS in Denver? I couldn't find much info on the Forum.

Thanks

It's basically a good school if you know how to approach the system; parents and students need to develop a good relationship with the student counselor.
This will enable you to learn about (and register for) all the best classes.
I have written a fair bit about East High here in the Denver forum.
Try another search, or DM me. (I'll be gone all day though.)
