I can't decide which high school I should attend!

Reasons to go to Valencia:

-They have a marching/jazz band
-They have art classes and Japanese classes
-Almost all my friends are going there


Reasons not to go to Valencia:

-Mom doesn't want me there
-Troy would look better on a college application
-Troy also has more challenging work
-Mom wants me to have smarter friends (thinks my friends aren't smart/mature enough for me to hang out with. it's true though)
-Mom wants me to have a better education and future
-Many gangsters, racists, fights, etc
-Mom doesn't think Valencia is good(from reading reviews, school stats, so on)
-I agree with my mom, but I may never see my friends again...


Reasons to go to Troy:

-More challenging, is a better education
-They have Chinese/Korean classes
-New friends
-Highly impressive resume, reviews, stats, scores, and will lead to a well educated future
-One of the most famous schools in the US
-Students there are very intellgent, will probably make more friends


Reasons not to go to Troy:

-Rumors of racists, gangsters, fights, and tough PE, not sure though...
-Will leave most of my friends
-No band, art or Japanese, which are my LIFE.

Hmmm...there's more reasons to go to Troy with less reasons not to...but still...what do you think?
