[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent with a WES graduate and a current middle schooler.  I agree with PPs that MS is the school’s strength.  If [b]I had it to do over again, I would skip ES but definitely put both kids in MS at WES.  The environment is supportive for those awkward years, and the classes become very close.  And the trips are great for developing independence.

HS placement was fine. The process is painful, but the school is supportive and goes to each school for an in-person meeting to advocate for their students.  [/quote]

What are the issues for elementary?  Looking at the school for my young son.

Previous poster who said that the middle school is a highlight of WES. I wouldn’t say that there are issues, at all. It was a great experience for our DD, she learned a lot, made good friends, had lovely teachers, etc. Honestly, no complaints. But I guess it feels like while there isn’t anything wrong and it checks all the boxes, it felt more like a good, solid school than something that really wowed and exceeded expectations, which is what the middle school feels like.

We switched from MCPS and I definitely felt like WES elementary demonstrated its value, but I think it did that in the ways I expected (eg, benefits of smaller class size). The middle school goes beyond that. [/quote]
