[quote=Anonymous]Wootton is a pressure cooker with tons of very bright, driven kids. If your child isn't, there are fewer ways to feel as if you belong to the school. The kids I know who are more "average" have gotten into some
trouble like drinking and smoking pot, and generally just not involved in high school life (in a positive way). Two went on to college at MC and flunked out.

Quince Orchard has a much more diverse student population than Wootton, in terms of groups a kid could belong to and fit in. Just my opinion of course. I'm in the Wootton cluster and would prefer QO right now. It just seems more well rounded. So not knowing what an elementary school kid is going to be like when reaching high school, I like the idea of a school with more social options, so it's easier to find their niche.  Because all the schools are fine educationally. A good student will get a great education at any of these schools. But social culture is heavily influential at the age, whether we like it or not.

I have no idea how special needs are treated. The Sn forum on here is probably worth looking at.

I work with a lovely young woman who graduated from the non-IB portion of RM. she enjoyed high school a lot. People on here make the distinction between the IB program and the "rest" of the school. I can't speak for it other than my experience with my coworker, but she's wonderful.
