Wilson is a sh$%T show and parents are looking for any other option. St. Johns also had record number of applications and many were from Deal parents trying to escape Wilson.

Additionally, here are the numbers for students left on the 9th grade waitlist at Walls for the same years:

40
0
38
19
10
175

This is NOT apples to apples. In previous years, Walls only interviewed the top 250 test takers so virtually everyone got off the wait list. Starting last year, they "interviewed" the top 500 GPAs so there were TONS more on the waitlist to begin with...

Absolutely. It used to be that if you were waitlisted at Walls, you were more likely to get an offer than not. Now it’s the other way around. So I expect that drove more people to look at Banneker. Waitlist offers, which are more apples to apples, are more consistent (but generally seem to be rising):

48
60
85
70
91
95

All schools have had problems getting the kids back in school mode. Not sure Walls is any different than the rest. The new location may have more to do with it.
