[quote=Anonymous]We're trying to focus in on an area to buy a home and one area we're looking at feeds to Woodson (also looking at lake Braddock and West Springfield feeders). Anyway, I've heard that Woodson is a great school but that it's also one of those super competitive, high stress ones. Is that true or blown out of proportion? My husband and I are from the Midwest, and while we want our children to go to college, we won't push ivy league (state schools or a few years at community college are great options) and we just generally don't want to play the DC game I see talked about so much on these boards and have witnessed first hand living on capitol hill. Is Woodson not the school for us feeling this way, or is it possible to have a more normal life view (that sounds wrong, but i dont know how else to word it) and be happy with the school? I know this is a weird question, but I'm hoping for some first hand insight.[/quote]
