I found out yesterday that Schenectady High School has had three students accepted into MIT and two into Harvard. That's pretty damn good for a "city" school. My own high school back in the 70's was a well reputed college prep school and we only got one or maybe two students into MIT every year. And that was considered pretty good. Also, my daughter's Schenectady public elementary school, Howe Magnet School, won the regional "Odyssey of the Mind" fifth grade competition. I'm only posting this to note that some "city" schools aren't as bad as their reputations, and that some excellent students come out of these schools.
