[quote=Anonymous]I have a child at HWES via Waples Mill AAP. I don't value music, drama, and especially not dance.  I realize others might.  DC1 only been there two years so far and had the same teacher for both (she switched grades).  She is awesome so we really feel we lucked out there.  
I have some complaints about a few of the teachers we experienced at Waples Mill, especially both second grade teachers. I don't feel like getting into particulars though.  I especially feel that HWES handled covid and virtual learning much better than WMES, as well as actually planning for the return to school.  For one they put all the kids that were planning to go back in person in the same class so that kids didn't have to switch teachers once it acually happened.  My DC2 had her whole class roster switched around in the middle of the year at Waples when the kids went back.  
One drawback I can give you is the amount of time your child spends on the bus. My HWES student catches the bus an hour before DC2 in the morning and gets home around the same time in the afternoon.  The other drawback is that your child's school friends will be spread over a larger geographic area. They won't be able to ride their bikes to each other's house so play dates are parent-planned and less frequent. Then half the kids will go to a different high school and maybe a different middle as well. The split feeder problem is the worst one in the county with Waples AAP having to send their kids all the way to Hunters Woods while passing by Navy and Crossfield, whose kids don't have to deal with that issue, on the way there.[/quote]
