[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. Sorry it was 3000, not 4000. Just huge. And they were thinking of converting buck property to class space, and have all those crazy DL or night shifts, and [b]getting spots in extracurriculars becomes a blood spot. [/quote][/b] I have a senior at W-L now. He's had a good experience academically and made good friends but the extracurriculars have been an issue. It's not that they're competitive (at least what interested him). They tend to welcome all who want to participate. But, as a result, he told me he feels like it really doesn't matter if he participates in anything since there are 10 other kids who can do the same thing. Yes, he does some community service and did theater crew but if he didn't show up it would not in anyway be felt. He got a lot more out of ECs outside of school where he actually felt needed. Less of an issue for a kid really dedicated to something like a music group or a sport. My 11th grade DD is in marching band and definitely has a strong community there.[/quote]
