[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the PP mentioning the successful teams wasn't to imply that WES is a athletic powerhouse, but to make the case that they are competitive among their peers.

We really like the school and find it to be solid academically and easygoing socially.[/quote]

+1 There have been some good teams because some cohorts are stronger than others, but the school's teams are inclusive (and we love that). Our DS plays on competitive club teams outside of WES, but it's been an awesome experience for him also to be able to play with a group of friends from school. Great balance.

In general I'd say the school has a nice mix across the board. Wealth--some incredibly wealthy, some on aid, many somewhere in between. Politically--full range of politics. Lots of international families. Strong academics, but a good deal of supports for those who need it. Episcopal, but the religious aspect is not at all heavy handed and focused on basic tenets of morality and service versus religious dogma.

We did not have experience with early childhood, but upper elementary and MS has been great. We've heard nothing but good things about outplacement for HS. My only gripe if you can call it that is I wish it were a smidge bigger because there are a few grades that are smaller and that opens up the possibility of the social dynamics getting a little off (e.g. more boys than [b]girls or big personalities impacting the whole class)--something I think is pretty common in small schools.

This. If your grade has a mean girls problem it is difficult to escape[/quote]
