[quote=Anonymous]We are in the Whitman cluster and could afford private for two kids. We have considered private at various points, but we have one kid who is very independent, has no trouble self advocating and benefited from certain programs offered at Whitman that privates simply did not have. We’ve also found that this child benefited from the wide range of courses offered at Whitman and is taking classes that would not have been possible at the privates we looked at. Our youngest is not in high school yet so we will evaluate when needed, but we think the public has benefits that privates don’t have. There are lots of different types of kids so many more options to find true peers. We do love the local community and how close everyone is. And we think our kids are benefitting from an experience where they have to figure out how to navigate different situations and interact with classmates from different backgrounds. If our younger child seems lost or needs smaller class sizes or more support, we would consider switching to private. Class size is my main concern in public.[/quote]
