[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Search BASIS vs. Walls. There have been other threads. I’d wait to see if you get in before doing detective work. Your odds aren’t fantastic if your student is white.[/quote] Weird you say this. Every white kid I know who applied got in, which made sense as they were all qualified. A few chose walls, most who were already at basis chose to stay at basis. I’m not in any way trying to say which choice is better. Just stating data points.[/quote] No not weird for somebody to say. Bowser is on the record as having pushed DCPS to ditch the Walls admissions exam AND the standardized test score requirement (PSAT, SAT or PARCC) to draw in more Ward 7 and 8 applicants, thereby increasing diversity at Walls. It's working, at least a little.[/quote]
