| I'm sure I will get flamed on here for asking this, but can anyone tell me the demographics of the prek 3 classes at JO Wilson? |
| Seriously? It makes NO difference. You need to be asking about the teachers, class sizes, outdoor time, etc. 3 year olds are 3 year olds. |
| About 50-50. Solid pk3 (for the reasons PP lists). Some really great teachers. ECE is closer to other hill schools than the upper grades. I'd recommend using it if you don't get the long shot hill schools that are probably above it on your list. |
| Thanks for the realistic response PP....not OP |
| I really do sincerely hate people like you OP. If you want a white PK3 classroom pay for in at a private (but make sure you your it first because guess what there are some high SES black folks in the city). For crying out loud, move to London county. |
Of COURSE you're going to get flamed. You're RACIST. Literally everyone on this board says black kids should be JUST FINE at SWS, then refuses to have their kid be one of the few white kids in a grade. |
New poster, oh take a hike. When you live in a neighborhood that's mostly white, it feels natural to be in a PK3 classroom that's half or more white. Period. |
What's bringing another school into this have to do with anything PP? |
I'd bet money OP is not even live in JO Wilson's boundary, she'll use it for free daycare (hate that term but it's appropriate here) then bail in a year. |
It feels "natural"? Really? |
What's the OOB rate at JO Wilson? My impression was that there are many OOB students in multiple demographic categories (and also from ward 9 based on license plates), so it doesn't seem productive for one side to be taking shots at the other because of OOB. The school environment itself has much less anger than is on display here. |
| This is OP here -- I do live in bounds for JO Wilson. I was just curious. I don't think it is unreasonable for one to hope that there are at least a handful of kids that look like your kid in the classroom. I didn't realize that made me racist. Anyways -- thanks for the productive discussion! |
You don't know any neighbors whose kids attend? |
Now you know. You didn't ask about the trends on IB/OOB, or siblings. You didn't ask about neighborhood experiences. You didn't ask about the curriculum, teachers or mention that you were looking for neighbors applying to JOW for PK3. You only asked about demographics and anticipated getting flamed, so what did you think we'd make of you? |
