[quote=Anonymous]My introverted son transferred to Pyle in 8th a few years ago from private. He was overwhelmed - the school is huge and as others mentioned, the crowds walking between classes are just bananas. He already knew some kids from our neighborhood but rarely saw them and didn't know anyone in his classes. He made a couple friends over the year but it was very hard. The admin did put him in a couple classes with other new boys, and luckily they hit it off.

Teachers were a mix - he had a few great ones and a few bad ones. Soccer was very competitive - at that time, only kids playing for a top level travel team made it. Ours was in a lower travel team and didn't.

Moving to Whitman *might be easier. Whitman has a lot of clubs so in addition to sports there are a few avenues to make friends in the fall. BUT WWHS also moves kids to different teachers (for most classes) at the semester, so after 5 months they have to start again with a new group of kids in their classes. My extroverted DD manages ok, but DS really disliked it. A friend who transferred her DD to 9th ended up moving her back to private in 10th. Hopefully other parents might chime in about the move to Whitman option.[/quote]
