Can’t you just embrace and celebrate what works for you without passing judgement on others ?

Congrats to Decatur High students and teachers. Keep up the good work !

I don’t recall DHS’s specific number ranking on that list, but know it was on the list of the top 5%.

Is my math off here? ;)

I think that actually would put it in the top 2% or better.

But… I guess if someone really wants to spend that 20K per child per year for private school.. it’s their prerogative. Me, I’d rather save it for college… and maybe a couple of Caribbean vacations.
