[quote=Anonymous]Zoned for WJ, but ds attends Blair (magnet).  I like both schools very much.  WJ has a nicer building (more natural light and newer) and great sports teams and clubs - their theater productions are great.  Academics are fine.  We did not push ds in any direction but after shadowing in both schools he was absolutely positive he preferred Blair and he is sure he made the right decision.  There is a lot of energy at Blair - lots of different kinds of kids with different interests and backgrounds.  He loves the magnet program which has given him a community of kids (and teachers) who love learning math and science.  They seem to laugh a lot in class - he noticed that when he shadowed too that there was a lot of joy in the classrooms.  It is a tough program and there have been stressful weeks but it is not a grind.  His non magnet classes are decent (the same as they would have been at WJ).  We like the staff and admin at Blair too.  They work really hard at making their school feel small and intimate for the kids.  I don't think you can go wrong at either school.[/quote]
