[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several families, all quite well, who pulled their child from WIS to move them to a more traditional academic private. In every case it was because the parents were convinced their child was not receiving rigorous academic instruction, particularly in mathematics. In each case, the family felt after the move that, while WIS was excellent in language instruction, and global studies, it was not equal to the new school in regards to other subjects, especially math and science. [/quote] Parent of a WIS "lifer" here, who began in the school as a 3-year old. I too have heard this concern about the strength of the math program from time to time over the years. As a middle school student, DC took the SAT for an outside program. S/he scored in the 96%ile math and 95%ile verbal[i] in middle school[/i]. I assume that means the math program is working.[/quote]
