[quote=Anonymous]THey also wind up at Harvard and Yale, etc. They get a good academic education, in part from good teachers and in part from their classmates and the ongoing input from their high SES parents. They also get a good education in the school of hard knocks - what it's like in a large, sometimes chaotic, integrated city school. Wilson isn't for everyone, just as Sidwell isn't, academic ability aside. A lot of it is your kid's personality and what they thrive on or can deal with. I know Ward 3 kids who have gone there who absolutely love it, despite its many problems, then go on to thrive at their fancy ivy league schools. They get in based on their high SATs, which are just as impressive as their private school competitors, and the top Wilson kids are not remedial students in college (as has been suggested), but are well versed in academics, as well as in "real life."[/quote]
