[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is confirmation to me that private schools are the way to go. We live in a W school district but chose private for both of our kids. The outcomes were extremely good and probably would have been very different had our kids attended public school. Both kids attended strong Catholic high schools that had students at diverse academic levels. Both kids were stand outs in their schools and were admitted to top 20 schools. It is better to have less competition by the numbers in a school that is well respected by college admissions officers vs. being one of many in a sea of strong academic achievers.

We are also in private for high school just for other reasons but have noticed this is also a benefit when looking at the most recent graduating classes and where they are going to college - also the diversity is better balanced in certain private high schools. I think people really need to think carefully before moving into the Wootton cluster. Going to Wootton is like living in another country that you didn’t ask to live in. It is not a culture or demographic that I would intentionally seek out. [/quote]
