I’m with @fullmom on this one. I joined CC several years ago as my D and I were starting to navigate college applications. She has several learning disabilities and had very low test scores. While I did find a lot of information on here, it was a bit intimidating to see so many accomplished kids at top schools while I was only trying to find middling-tier schools that might be a good fit.
At the same time, I found a lot of good information, if not from the academic side of things, at least on dealing with the transition to college, financial aid, what to pack, the empty nest, etc. Now I mainly go to the Parent Cafe sincemany of the parents are in the same middle-age demographic as as I am and have some commonalities in that way, if not necessarily with our kids.
