[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. This was a mixed bag of responses! I should have said which neighborhood school, since this is really a question about where to look for housing. We can decide whether to apply for HB Woodlawn or not later. (Although I definitely appreciate that advice.) So of the neighborhood schools, which one(s) are best or good for her?[/quote]

The lottery of HBW is a ridiculous long shot, so set that aside. I would actually aim for Williamsburg and Yorktown.  They are not academic focused, because by and large it’s wealthy families who already have a path for their child and it doesn’t depend on grades. They are intense about sports though. But if your kid stays away from lacrosse and such it’s pretty chill. [/quote]

Wow.  Somebody is super petty and jealous.  [/quote]

What?  No jealousy here, we go to Yorktown. The more academic students do IB at WL so it’s a natural pressure valve on academic competition. I mean there have been whole threads about how success in career often doesn’t correlate to grades or academic pedigree, why would it be surprising to embrace that if you are a family of means.
