[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's this bad, why are parents clamoring to go there? [/quote] It's a shiny new building and people don't like schools being what they perceive as too big and/or overcrowded. Also, because of self-selection of having to take action to register for a lottery, you are guaranteeing kids who have some level of parental involvement. A big public school is always going to offer more activities and more differentiation just because of sheer volume of students. [/quote] If your kid is brilliant and a self starter and won’t fall in a slacker crowd, WL is excellent and YHS and WHS are pretty great. If your kid might be challenged or need attention from a teacher to thrive, they will not be noticed at the supersized schools and will fall through cracks. They may be enticed to join a crew that skips class, vapes in the bathrooms, etc since their is so little oversight at these schools. [/quote]
