[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the threads about Wilson this year and then make your decision. Wilson is chaotic and dysfunctional. Given any other viable choice, take it. [/quote]

Do you have a kid at Wilson?[/quote]

I have two at Wilson...these descriptions of "chaos" are not accurate...BUT there are definitely problems of teacher vacancies (but the same is true at Walls, across DCPS, and across the country).

Wilson has pros and cons--tons of clubs, activities (including VERY competitive ones like debate/robotics, lots of AP classes for upper grades)...Walls has fewer but a calmer vibe.  Both suffer from DCPS dysfunction.  Wilson is overcrowded (Walls gets to limit those who get in).

For both of mine, Wilson is a better fit--they don't mind a bit of crazy for all of the advantages that Wilson offers.  I think Walls is better if your kids are sensitive to those things. FWIW, friends that I've had at both think the quality of teaching is actually better at Wilson, though who knows now with all the teachers leaving across the district.[/quote]
