[quote=Anonymous]We are districted for Yorktown but applied for neighborhood transfer to both W/L & Wakefield AP Program.

It is a daily struggle to help him stay on track. He was accepted to the Wakefield AP program and we applied for neighborhood transfer to W/L because all of his close friends are going there. We are not a pressure cooker family -in fact, we don't care about college acceptance to elite schools. We just want him to be college-ready. That said, he often says he feels "dumb" in the general classes but we both know he is not appropriate for IB program (he's never asked to apply). He knows many kids going to Yorktown but the culture of boys entering Yorktown next year would not be a good influence for him. Not that these kids are bad -just not a good influence on him.

- I would like to know how the general and AP courses are?

- How supportive are the staff and IEP teams at each school -we've heard wonderful things about Wakefield; however, it would be a daily hike for us to Wakefield and he will not be starting with any friends which is quite anxiety-provoking for him.[/quote]
