[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who mentioned above that only five new ninth-graders have been accepted through the lottery.  I find some of the previous comments bizarrely hostile, particularly the very long one above.  If you don't think WL is a good enough school, then it's very simple: don't apply there.  We have close friends who have sent two kids to Latin--one is in MS now and one is in HS but started in the middle school. We have been following these students' work for a long time, as we think about various schools (DD is in third grade now so we'll enter the lottery next year).  I can't explain test scores, but the actual academic work they are doing at Latin is top-notch; I've been impressed with what I've seen.  So all you who "challenge" WL to explain why you should deign to apply there, please don't apply!  That way people who really want to go there will have a better chance.  I think there's a reason it has the waiting lists it does, and it isn't from resting on laurels.  Fortunately, people who don't think Latin is good enough have other options, and isn't that the whole point?  [/quote]

Well said pp. Latin is a top notch school with a heart.  [/quote]
