[quote=Anonymous]Moved to BW 1.5 years ago, also from Petworth and our kids transitioned from a charter to Lafayette. While it's enormous, they do a really nice job of building community within the classes and grades. I do pinch myself because it feels a little bit like a movie set on weekday mornings, with kids pouring out of the houses walking/biking/scooting to the school on the bucolic tree-lined streets with stately houses. It's ridiculous! And lovely. I do miss the socio-economic diversity we had at the charter, but the students and staff are far from all white, and certainly value diversity. We've had some things happen at the school that we haven't loved, and the level of entitlement with some of the parents is off-putting, but... others are terrific and we've really enjoyed being part of the community.[/quote]
