The pressure to succeed in our nations most competitive public high schools is often crushing. Striving to understand this insular world, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes spent a year at Californias Whitney High, a school so renowned that parents move across town-and across the world-hoping to enroll their children. Thats because schools like Whitney deliver everything parents want: love of learning, a sense of mission, and SAT scores that pave the way to elite universities. Attending such a school, of course, carries its own toll: High-achieving, pressured kids survive on espresso and four hours sleep a night, falling into despair if they get a B. Lively, personal, and very readable, School of Dreams uncovers what works-and what doesnt-at this model high school, offering parents, students, and teachers some powerful messages about public education today.
