[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another WES parent here.  Our kids joined coming from public ES.  My impression of the vibe is that it’s a nice mix of well-connected or well-off families who wouldn’t consider public, families who rely on aid to be able to attend, and those in the middle who could just as easily be happy in public and maybe are stretching to be at WES — and it can be hard to tell who is who.  Overall, it’s a pretty welcoming group and the school cares about the community feel.

In terms of academics, there are some very smart kids at WES.  And those kids enjoy a lot of success in their HS placement. I found the range of academic abilities to be similar to public school. But the HOS and Head of the MS are very helpful in the HS process and meet with each HS to talk about the WES applicants.

[b]And I can’t say enough about the middle school experience at WES. It is uniquely special. The kids come out of there well-prepared for HS, able to advocate for themselves and interact with adults, and very close because of their small class sizes.[/quote][/b]

I would love to be able to have a kid that came out of middle school well prepared for any HS, able to advocate for themselves and interact with adults, and very close. I know some think it's not a strong academic school, or it's too small, but coming out of public, the offerings are impressive and the parents and students we met have been wonderful so far.
