[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I was specifically looking for mental health issues at WJ if they are similar to Whitman? None of these responses have been helpful. I know the test scores and not really care about the differences in them in regards to test scores. [/quote]

You're not smart enough to read between the lines. The highest achieving school, on paper, in terms of grades - Whitman - probably has the biggest stressors, most suicides / accidental overdoses and outsourcing for therapists.

Do you have data to support that? Google WJ and suicide. There are kids with mental health issues at both. It’s important to differentiate between the issues of the kid and the issues of the school.

My DC went to Whitman and was one of those for whom it was a great fit and not high stress, despite taking a lot of AP classes. I’m sure he would have done fine at WJ too.

OP you may want to talk to the guidance counselors at each school to get a sense of the fit for your child’s particular mental health challenges. I’m sure they’ve seen similar kids before and can provide some perspective. [/quote]

The counselors at those schools literally do not give a shit. They are about presenting a semblance only of "care". They process grades, they send transcripts, they field questions that they can rarely answer. [/quote]
