[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People want to avoid negative influences at Williamsburg. Too permissive. Too many drugs.[/quote]

I think some families might choose Kenmore because there is a less competitive atmosphere and less personal pressure. Still some very high achievers, to be sure, but every one we know is pretty laid back - there is nothing cutthroat about Kenmore. There is more racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity which matters to some people. It's also a smaller school than Williamsburg and Swanson, it's not bursting at the seams with kids, it's a fairly new building and a very pleasant one at that, it has a nice atmosphere for learning. And as others have said, the arts and technology programs are excellent. Theater, dance, visual arts, there are computer labs for art classes to use, a super awesome tech shop, robotics class etc. and most of these are also offered as Act II so more kids can take advantage. Many on the staff are very experienced teachers and have stayed at Kenmore for a long time. [/quote]
