| For Walls - They make a big thing about how great the internship course is. In my child's experience, this was not the case. You need to find your own internship and they expect you have a connection to do that. You should have it lined up before the semester starts when you are taking that course -but if you get it as a junior, you do not know you are taking the course until the week before school starts when schedules are shared. |

A lot of popular classes get filled up and younger kids can’t get in. |

There are caps on class size at every school. It is very common that electives are prioritized for Seniors, Juniors ... |

This is a problem at JR as well |

You need to be careful with Jackson Reed as well.
The physics teachers at JR are mostly terrible. AP Environmental does not have a teacher this year. AP Psych has been without a teacher also. One of the AP Chem teachers is terrible. The highest math offered is AP Calculus BC |

The AP Physics teacher they hired mid-year last year is phenomenal. He teaches all of the AP Physics sections. My kid who is taking AP Physics 1 this year is considering taking AP Physics C next year just to have him again. |

I don't see Spanish and other languages on these lists.
What are the language options at Walls and JR? |

It’s in the list posted above in a summary line, at least for Walls |

I don’t think this is entirely correct. There is one other teacher who is considerably weaker who also teaches AP Physics 1. And this new teacher is a retired teacher from somewhere else so I would be concerned how long he will stay at JR |

Different poster. No no languages taught past AP at Walls, not even Spanish for literature (JR teaches that). I wonder if some kids take more advanced language at George Washington. The only non Romance language taught is Chinese. The language list is v. limited compared to some suburban schools. No Russian, Arabic, German, Japanese. |

Walls only has 600 students so they are limited in what they can offer. The building is also over capacity so they have literally run out of classroom space |

| are the "honors" class the only section or is there regular section of the same class. Is this like JR "honors for all" which makes it meaningless. |
