[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]

WMS / YHS parent here with an ADHD kid who struggles with anxiety. Those schools are decidedly NOT chill. They do NOT want to help your kid. Their MO is to push as many SN kids as possible into private schools.  [/quote]

It seems to be working quite well too. [/quote]
