[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are unlikely to get into WES (or most schools) for sixth if you deny acceptance now.

I’m sorry to hear you loved WES and were denied, PP. Some grades had very few spaces!

WES has been a great community. More than other schools, there are a lot of families who make conscious choices to be at WES instead of public, either for certain grades, or for one child in their family, etc. Some families find public schools to be too big and chaotic for one kid but fine for another, some families want their kids to have smaller classes and more contact with teachers. Some families think MCPS middle school is a weak link, but will go public before and after that. Some people feel strongly that lower grades build foundational learning, and they want that to happen in a nurturing place. Every family has slightly different reasons, but there are certainly many, many families who find value at the school. There are so many kids who started at Somerset, Wood Acres, Westbrook, Burning Tree, Chevy Chase Elementary, Bradley Hills, Janney, Hearst, Horace Mann, Lafayette, and more that make the switch. Good luck with your process![/quote]

Love the families I know who are at WES. It seems like a great community of people who care. For completeness, I think the "many kids who started at..." comment while true is also overemphasizing the perceived need to leave those publics as many of these transitions happened during Covid when they were open and publics were not or whose status may have been in question at the time of enrollment (affecting any grades above 3rd).[/quote]
