[quote=Anonymous]We have lived in both districts so I can tell from experience with one child who went to qo and one who goes to wj.. although both are great schools and you will do well in either school,  wj Is unquestionably more academically oriented. The sheer number of "extras" that wj offers can't be beat. Small example but WJ has zoom meetings every few weeks offering parents and students the opportunity to learn more about college applications,  sat preparedness,   financial aid, etc..unless qo has added that recently. 
The counseling department at WJ is more hands on and indepth. The teachers at WJ reach out immediately if there are academic concerns. You will not hear anything at qo unless you monitor parentvue regularly. It should also be mentioned that qo is more sports oriented which means your dc will not necessarily get playing time in their sport due to the sheer number of great players at qo. People who have student athletes with good chances of getting sports scholarships Move to qo because they get on the recruiting radar more readily.  This means the teams are highly competitive although wj does stamd out in some sports-  like track.[/quote]
