[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I will add that it is likely that many kids will know each other going in, just because there are a lot of big feeder schools.[/b] But, depending on which neighborhood you live in, one strategy is to reach out on a neighborhood listserve to find other incoming Deal kids. Then, over the summer maybe they can get together a few times? FWIW, my DD is pretty shy but she did come in from a feeder school. Having said that, she changed friend groups pretty quickly (better "fit") because it is a big school and there are a lot of different groups...it's one of the strengths of the school.[/quote] This is true, but because Wilson is so big, kids often don’t know many others in their classes. My 9th grader (who went to Deal) had very few friends or even kids he knew in his classes this year. [/quote]
