[quote=Anonymous]On a lark we put SWS down and got in so I did a ton of research.  I went through and spoke to several parents who sent their kids there or left there for another school. A lot of the people I spoke to were very excited about the “kindness” of the school, the SWS parent prom, and praised the “wonderful” principal. Others will tell you the parent community is “patronizing and sanctimonious”, and the principal is mostly focused on “ensuring everyone knows he’s not racist”. I did not meet the principal to confirm this, but the parent who told me this seemed very worked up about this so I didn’t want to go into specifics.  Some parents I spoke to told me (using extremely questionable metrics IMO) that their child is getting an incredible education. I did notice that the test scores were below normal for the very white population.  Either way the testing didn’t seem terrible but maybe had room for improvement.

I don’t know about Maury but it seems great too.

We decided to stay at our current school with the thought of moving to the suburbs for middle school. I really did not like the feeder pattern for SWS and feel the suburbs will be better for middle/high school. [/quote]
