[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, my DC is slated for one of these high schools: Yorktown, W&L, but for many reasons I would rather he goes to Wakefield. DC is well traveled, adaptable and seems to feel more at home with a more diverse school environment. DC doesn't care where he goes for high school but DH does. We're in disagreement, DH is insisting that DC attends his homeschool, but after reading some of the comments on here(read:patronizing, condescending towards those who look different or who doesn't have a house in the 'right' boundary) I hesitate to send my kid to one of those schools. And given the curriculum is the same in all the schools, I don't think the positive (better test score) outweigh some of the negatives - entitlement, mean girl environment at the other schools. I'm also looking forward to the new Wakefield facilities. FWIW, I think DC would do fine at any school, but I'm wondering where it would take less effort socially. DC have had a roller coaster ride adjusting to two different international schools during the past 5 years and is stronger for it, but I am looking for easier landing for us as a family. DH however just want DC to attend our home school. In the interest of keeping this short, I've simplified our reasons for feeling one way or another. I guess what I want to know is how closely linked the Wakefield school community is and how will we fit in? I don't think I'll convince DH to change his mind, but I think DC could.[/quote]

I think W&L is more diverse than Wakefield, both economically and racially, so I don't really understand your post.  It seems like much angst for no obvious reason.[/quote]
