[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in a small K-8 private school and we'll be looking at high schools soon, zoned for Wootton.  She's a good student and a good athlete and I don't have any concerns about her transitioning to high school socially.  Intense academic pressure tends to stress her out and although she gets excellent grades and would likely have the option to be placed in multiple AP classes at a time, I can also see her wanting to prioritize her mental health a little bit instead of trying to take on everything at once and burn out trying to compete with everyone for the highest grades.  [b]I have heard that Wootton is a very intense environment with pressure cooker academics[/b].  How is it for kids who are very bright but trying to stay sane and well-rounded instead of vying for top of the class/HYP?  Are we better off staying in private?  [/quote]
That is definitely true to be blunt.

Wootton definitely is a huge pressure cooker. It’s hard for kids to step back and not take 5-6 AP classes in my experience [/quote]
