[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long time former sws parent. The old cliquey crowd has almost phased out. Yes, they were pretty terrible. Kids are happy but there is no focus or emphasis on academic achievement. If you have the resources to supplement heavily or you are fine with middling academics it is a lovely place with nice kids and more diverse than most of NW. [/quote] This feels fair to me. We got a spot for both kids, but ultimately turned them down in favor of another school with stronger academics. I am a POC, and I [b]didn’t want my kids to be “the only” in every class[/b]. I also think it’s not fair to discount the wonderful sped program they have at SWS. [/quote] Truly NOT trying to tangent this, but thanks for being a non-white person admitting that being the only is not ideal (see: my white kid needs to be forced to be the only in my neighborhood DCPS or I am racist).
