It means it's a high school in one of the richer neighborhoods. It's maybe number two in the district for brains (i.e., students who have great grades, high scores, and desirable college acceptances). It's easily the most upper middle class school-a former boss of mine bought a condo in the catchment zone for that school so her kid could go there (she couldn't afford a house in that neighborhood, not even if she sold hers--which is in a lower middle class neighborhood). It's about 2 miles from where I sit in my apartment. I mean, all of Portland is pretty progressive! It's hardly a useful qualifier!

But there are jerk teachers in most schools--I know, I used to work for one of the law offices that represents the teachers' union. I've said for years that had I known what shenanigans teachers get away with before my kids started school, I'd have home-schooled my kids.
