Which school is better in Chicago - The University of Chicago Lab school or top SEHS like Northside or Payton?
Which offers the well rounded quality education? Which one has better top college placements? Thanks!
Really, it depends on the kid. Tell us about the student. I know kids who have had amazing outcomes at Lab and kids who transferred out because it wasn’t for them (who still had amazing outcomes.) When you are looking at good schools, it’s all about the best fit.
Honestly, you’re better off at Latin or Francis Parker than at Lab, out of the top three. Northside, Lane Tech, and Whitney Young are all very good–most of the SEHS are. They’re also huge and really it’s easy to do well or to do poorly.
