[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of kids at WJ, but the administration is excellent, and it works.  My 2 kids, one quirky, one a varsity athlete, both were easily able to find their people among the crowd.  I think because there are so many, no one is left out or feeling alone, because there's always another group of kids to turn to.

Neither felt it a pressure cooker either.  They both ended up with 12 APs, because they are both excellent students who wanted to take AP and honors courses.  No tutoring.[/quote]

I’m seeing this a lot.  [b]Are kids taking way more APs than they did in my day?  Early 2000s.[/b]  I took 8 and graduated top of my high school (NOVA).  It wasn’t Thomas Jefferson or anything, but I’m surprised how early students are starting AP and how many they’re taking.[/quote]

Yes, they are. Kids are even graduating with full-fledged associate's degrees with the dual-enrollment program. It's nuts how much they're accelerating the high school process. I don't think it's for the better, but it is what it is.[/quote]
