Let's see if you'll see the same thing by 6th grade. Lot's of WES boys in the past leave for other schools.

Yes, and those "celebrity" parents could surely get their kids into any school in town. Yet they choose to stay with WES. To me, at least, that says something about the school.

I am happy to hear that the mass exodus from WES myth is debunked...

+1
The current third grade is so large that they had to add a third homeroom class. 4th seems big too.

The mass exodus before and after 3rd grade at WES tells the story. Some may leave for academic reasons, but most just don't care for the teaching methods.

I believe PPs attributing the increase in the academic requirements in the third grade (which could be painful for the little ones) to the school. Just saying...
