[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may "stand out" more at a place like NW, but do you want your kid to go to a school where being a good student is not the norm? A child's peer group in high school is their biggest influence (more than parents IMO). If I had a choice I'd rather my child be in an environment where doing really well in school is the baseline norm, [b]not some odd thing.[/b] [/quote] I think that saying that it is an odd thing for kids to do really well in school at NWHS. Lots of kids do well. All of the honors and AP classes are fully enrolled, there are lots of kids who do Dual Enrollment. Not the majority but it isn't a miniscule number either. Peer group is a huge issue. If your kid wants to find trouble, they will. The VPA kids and honors students are a bunch of geeks who are geeky with each other. Just like any other high school, you find your people. [/quote]
