[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WES is just as good as the others. Possibly stronger than one or two PP referred to.

Finding the best fit for our graduates.

WES graduates are accepted, attend, and seamlessly transition to a wide variety of secondary schools including private, public, single-sex, religiously affiliated, and boarding schools. There are 138 graduates at 34 secondary schools in the US:

20 Independent Day Schools
8 Public Schools
6 Boarding Schools
Three or more alumni currently attend the following independent area secondary schools (in alphabetical order):

Bullis School
Connelly School of the Holy Child
Field School
Georgetown Day School
Georgetown Preparatory School
Gonzaga College High School
Holton-Arms School
Landon
The Madeira School
The Potomac School
Sidwell Friends
St. Albans School
St. Andrew’s Episcopal School
St. Johns College High School
Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart
Finding the best fit school for our graduates is the number one priority for the secondary school admission process. Of the WES graduates currently in secondary schools in the United States, only two students have changed high schools for reasons other than moving.[/quote]

False. WES is not regarded as highly by the high schools as other schools and IMHE it DOES favor legacies, siblings, big contributors and board members 
kids. We left because of the latter. Btw, when you chatter on about “fit” what you are clearly saying to anyone in the education field (both in high school and higher education) is that your kid can’t cut it in a top school-which is appropriate and perfectly fine-but be aware when you go in about “fit”everyone knows what you are really saying.
