[quote=Anonymous]Our kid is a rising junior at Walls and came from a DCPS middle. The workload is definitely a lot and they often seem overworked, but their grades have stayed high. The peer group there probably helps keep kids focused, as everyone is well behaved and prioritizes keeping up with their studies. But I also worry that a lot of those kids and their parents are over-functioning and unhealthfully hyper-focused on grades, building a high school resume and worried about getting into a top college. Just being a high school kid and having fun with friends gets short shrift.[/quote]
