[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, my DD is a junior at W-L and happy there. She's challenged (takes a mix of regular, IB and AP classes, has to work hard, gets a mix of As and Bs), teachers have been responsive when we have issues and seem to know who she is, has made friends pretty easily. The classes don't seem to be too big and while the total size is growing, they will have more space so I'd expect at least in the next few years they'd still be able to maintain the class sizes.

She does band + a couple clubs. Most of her friends are in band. If your DD has any inclination toward the arts, I'd really encourage a band/orchestra/chorus/theater class as a great way to find community. I was pleased to hear from a freshman parent this year that she had previously directed HS and MS band and was impressed at how welcoming the marching band group, and especially the older girls, were to her DD.

DD's main complaint related to size is the chaotic, loud cafeteria but she gets around that by bringing her lunch and eating elsewhere.[/quote]

+1. My DD is a junior as well and loves it. No complaints on the size. DD is involved in sports and a variety of clubs and the counselors have been great. You can easily find your tribe there. I think you’re being overly dramatic and should give it a chance before bad mouthing it. [/quote]
