[quote=Anonymous]We moved our kids from private school to a W cluster. Has it been perfect? No. There have been some mediocre teachers. The MCPS handling of COVID was ridiculous. The DEI stuff gets a little silly sometimes. However, science and math is much better in a W school than it is at any private in this area. There are clubs that address every student's interest - from journalism to rocketry, which you won't find in privates. Sports are generally accessible. Football and cross country, for instance, are both walk-on. And there's a large group of students. Everyone finds their cohort. Also, college placement at schools like Whitman are just as good as Sidwell or NCS. Has everything been great? No. The Covid closures in particular are unforgivable. But overall, I think a W public has provided a richer and more interesting experience than anything that could be provided by a private. [/quote]
