[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having lived in both places, yes, the families of school aged kids in ward 3 tend to be much wealthier than on the hill.  That said, a much higher percentage of the kids also attend privates.  And wilson has its fair share of kids who live out of bounds, although probably not as many as eastern, as a percentage of the population.

I agree that if the Higher SES hill population on the hill sent their kids to eastern at the same rate that the higher SES population in ward 3 send their kids to wilson, the demographics could be much more similar.  I understand the hesitance of hill parents who aren’t receiving assurance that eastern would offer the same advanced coursework as wilson, even if kids capable of that work enroll at the school.  I also understand the worry of ward 3 parents who hear that he did not try to attract hill parents to eastern, and think that he might also not seek to maintain the higher SES IB population at wilson.   That said, ward 3 has status quo on its side.  [/quote]

Very well stated. While I'm not ecstatic to hear the Principal selection, we do have status quo on our side and I think our kids will continue to be just fine at Wilson.[/quote]
