[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you PP. That is the other thing: from what I hear, Whitman is academically stronger than BCC....would not want my kid to switch schools for HS.[/quote]

Maybe its overall test score average is higher, but that doesn't equate to better, just fewer low-income kids. The same opportunities, curriculum, and even pool of teachers are at all these schools, so there is not a lot of difference. Outcomes have more to do with home life and parental education level.[/quote]

Thank you PP. I thought I read that Pyle might have more electives, clubs and afterschool activities than Westland? [/quote]

If pyle has more, then Westland must have close to zero. I don't think either has much. Sports teams and plays are competitive and limited to small numbers of students, and there are hundreds of kids per grade competing for the spots. Not many other activities at all. Whitman is a different story. [/quote]

Thank you PP. Does Whitman (and BCC) have a lot?[/quote]

Yes, both high schools have a lot. I'm not sure why the PP asked if you were joking. Plenty of people choose Westland over Pyle. They're more similar than dissimilar. [/quote]

Yes, it's just hair-splitting. The same kid would do fine at either.[/quote]
