[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If what you want is co-ed, Episcopal, friendly community, rigorous curriculum without the burnout culture, then WES is great.  But it's over in 8th.

My advice is to get all that at St. Andrew's and then avoid the Upper School admissions process by staying through 12th. SAES has a MUCH nicer campus, more competitive sports, great college placement, amazing teachers, slightly larger MS but still small, and there's are two different bus routes within a couple of minutes of WES.

St Andrew’s is much, much further out than WES. I wouldn’t consider it for elementary or middle school if I lived in 20815, 20816, or possibly even 20817, which is where the majority of the WES community lives. St. Andrew’s middle school experience also doesn’t compare to that of a K-8. Of course going to a school that goes through 12th secures you a high school placement, but then you are also choosing a high school when you child is still young and you don’t know what will be the best fit. It’s a strategy, but not necessarily the best one for your kid.[/quote]

The other aspect of K-8 vs K-12 is the social dynamics of entering in 9th grade.  [/quote]
