[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has loved SWW.  One reason she chose it over Wilson was that there are few in school behavior issues, ie. classes are not disrupted by kids who are not there to learn.  I have not heard of any bullying or other excluding issues.  Academics are more intense than at some other DCPS high schools, but if your child is interested and engaged it should be a good fit.

I must disagree with previous posters who indicated there is a lack of extra-curricular activities and sports.  The school has a lot of opportunities to engage in both.  One advantage to the size is that if your child wants to play a sport, they will likely have the opportunity as opposed to Wilson where they must cut to manageable size team.

I am not a polly-anna and think the school has no issues.  The biggest being the lack of leadership from administration.  This has become a glaring issue since the Principal began his tenure as a half-time leader at both SWW and FS.  Still, the school has definitely challenged my child, who has developed great relationships with fellow students, teachers and coaches. [/quote]
