The time has come. Walls versus Jackson Reed

Workload depends on the particular classes the student takes.

Would a smart but not super smart student feel comfortable at Walls and succeed?

In most cases, "smart" or "super smart" is far and few. It's more about work ethic and executive functioning. With the later being most important at Walls. So "yes" they can succeed and do very well. But if a kid has poor executive functioning skills, it will go down hill pretty quickly. Just like college..no different.

Why isn’t there a gym at Walls?

Duh. That is why it is called School Without Walls.

School has no gym, cafeteria, stage, studio space, field space, etc.

Jackson Reed all the way. My JR kid LOVES his school. My Walls kid, similarly academic acumen thinks social life is mediocre and kids live too far apart. I also have a private step kid (GDS) that sometimes begs me to switch to Jackson Reed fwiw.

I had one kid at each and both did very well. Depends on the kid. If they like lots of action then Jackson reed. Otherwise walls.

Space. As it is the building is stuffed to the gills. DCPS didn't even care enough to re-build the school themselves. GW did in exchange for a land swap.

JR has walls too which is something to be thankful about
