most people were great at my school. lots of comraderie, goodwill, and support while still being highly motivated and competitive young people.

This was pretty much how it was at my school.
I went to a public school, but it's in a smallish college town in Ohio so it's comprised of a lot of professor-kids.
I don't remember any real competition per-se.

We had some smart kids and everyone got along pretty much.
10 national merit finalists in my class IIRC.
Lots of perfect to near-perfect SAT scores and the like.

I wasn't in this top tier but was friends with most of them.
