[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,
Our son is looking forward to applying to SWoW. We are relatively new to DC and have heard mostly great things about the school. Based on what folks have told us, it also seems a great fit (he's self-motivated, strong study skills, etc - not the same for our younger son). We know only a few families with firsthand knowledge, and would love any feedback folks could provide.

Another question ---- we are also considering private high school (but struggling with the cost). What are people's thoughts on comparing the education/experience at SWoW with local private schools? It seems from what we have read together with high school ratings, the the two may be quite similar. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Of course, none of this matters if he is not accepted. ?
Thanks. [/quote]

Here's a ranking of local public and private high schools, FWIW. https://www.lotusprep.com/best-high-schools-dc/  The consensus, as far as I can tell, is that SWW has a lot of bright kids but it's still DCPS.[/quote]

That actually looks pretty good to me.  Although SWW is ranked 24th in the area, the vast majority of those above it are private schools.  There are only 6 public schools ahead of it (including other magnet schools).  Wilson also looks surprisingly good (in 31st place).  [/quote]
