Post Would this be correct grammar usage?
This is the section that I have used "in this context" in:

In my short experience, I gained the notion that (high school's) creative style of learning and teaching would fit my needs as a student working towards being a strong, competent leader. In this context, I have concluded that (high school) would be my wisest and most favorable choice as a high school.

When I put "high school" in parentheses, I am just trying to keep the actual name of the high school private.

Did I use "in this context" correctly?

Thanks for the help

I think you could try to liven it up a little...It is technically used correctly in that context (haha, no pun intended), but its really formal and drab.

...try saying something like, "as a result, I have concluded that..."

I'm not sure .. but "wisest" looks odd. I use the term .. "most wise". Good Luck ! :)

To be honest, the "in this context" seems to only confuse readers. My AP English teacher (HS Junior) has repeatedly told us to be concise, but effective .So, in this sense, you could remove the phrase without it really affecting the essay.
Sorry. That's all the advice that I can provide...

try being a little less " wordy " and use a phrase like; "with this in mind". you will impress people more with straightforward language than if you try to impress with your vocabulary or complex phrasing.
