[quote=Anonymous]These responses have been so amazing and helpful.  Thank you.

My son does travel soccer.  I'm OK with him not being on "high radar" sports recruiting high school.  I figure we can strategize recruiting on our own outside of school, and instead for school prioritize strong academics and college oriented-ness over sports recruiting.

I have another Q if not too much.  As I stated earlier, my son doesn't like doing schoolwork and studying, but understands it's important - we've had lots of conversations.  So I want him to go to a strong academic school so that it's not just me, but the whole culture, administration, organization cultivating those values, and through friends and teachers he gains ideas for study skills, and a love of academic learning, etc.

What I wonder though... by being in such a strong academic large school like WJ, is his GPA likely to be lower than being in an academically weaker school.  I know I may not be saying things in the nicest most appropriate nice way, but since GPA is so important for colleges, ... I can't help but wonder.  -- Thank you.[/quote]
