@bclintonk I completely agree. New Trier definitely is closer to the selective enrollment structure of CPS. I don’t know much about it, but I know there are different levels for students, meaning some students are on a highly accelerated pathway (placed by testing). Suburbs definitely have a good education, it’s just not as condensed as CPS. This could be a good thing, though, because the distribution of education might be better. That being said, it may also be because the suburbs are definitely less diverse economically, racially, etc, than the city. Either way, I agree. New Trier is a top tier school in the greater Chicago area.
