[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of W-L kids, the academic rigor is great, and the kids in those classes are doing fine and college placement is impressive. I hope that isn't changed. I do think there is a group of kids at the school not getting educated very well, not attending class, threatening teachers, and the school needs to find a better solution to deal with them.

My problem is that I have a kid in the middle of the pack - not an academic superstar who is going to be IB or even shoot for UVA. I worry already about him getting lost in the crowd because he’s not advanced enough to take 17 APs or whatever; but not behind enough to get “equity” resources. He would benefit from a school where the baseline is really high so thay even where he is (“normal” classes) the expectations are appropriate.[/quote]

I have one kid that fits that description at W-L. He took a couple AP classes, a coupme IB classes and some GenEd. The teachers in the advanced classes went out of their way to bring him along. I have been so impressed. The GenEd teachers were always in touch and helpful too. I understand your concerns but they didn’t play out with my student.[/quote]
