[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a private college counselor serving kids in the DMV and in my experience there is no difference between Walls and J-R in terms of admissions patterns for similar kids. I also counsel families about the high school decision and always stress this-  college admissions is not a factor that should weigh in.[/quote]

This sounds about right. You should pick JR or Walls based on which school best suits your kid.
They are very different experiences. Kids from both schools go to the same range of colleges and universities.
I believe college admissions offices look at these schools similarly.

And yes, pick the best high school for your child based on their temperament and aptitude. Don’t get caught up in the college admissions race[/quote]

But how do you begin to choose between Walls and J-R? For us, it’s a metro to Walls vs a long walk to J-R, but my daughter is quiet and wondering if she’d do better in a smaller setting. More STEM focused, but that could change. [/quote]
I have a junior at walls
When we went to the open house when he was in 8th grade, we thought the science teacher they had representing the school was not inspiring.  Actual experience has aligned with the open house. [/quote]
