Walls 10th Grade

[Anonymous]

Has anyone had luck with 10th grade admission? I know a few students leave each year.

[Anonymous]

Last year about 20 kids applied and 15 were given spots I believe.

[Anonymous]

No.

24 applied for 10 seats. 11 given offers, 10 accepted.

Wow that is better odds than I would have thought. How is it starting at Walls in 10th grade?

+1 Shocked to see there are any kids admitted in 10th, let alone a dozen or so.

10 kids were put on the waitlist for 11th grade and all were offered a spot, even though no openings were officially listed.

How can it be that there were 10+ 10th grade slots and 10+ 11th grade slots? Walls is by DCUM accounts a magical place where no one leaves and everyone is happy and BASIS kids flee to?

Yeah. Can't believe that Walls gave everyone on the waitlist for 11th grade a slot, even though they had no 11th grade slots.

Because most of the info on DCUM is pure BS. Maybe a quarter is actual useful....

That is not what the data says. The data says that they made 10 offers. They could have offered 1 slot to #1-9 and they all turned it down and #10 accepted it.

And DCUM is a place where every DCPS/DCPCS thread ends up being about BASIS.

You are overanalyzing. I didn't say that 10 people accepted a slot. I said that they gave everyone a slot. I someone received a slot, obviously he or she could turn it down.

Which is odd since only a few kids went from BASIS to Walls last year.

They likely had a very strict screening process, so only the ones that were screened successfully were offered an available spot. So, likely the odds are lower than they appear.

I don't think people are reacting to the chances, but rather (1) that there were any spots at all and (2) the fact that 10+ kids are leaving each year belies the DCUM narrative of the greatest school since sliced bread.
