[quote=Anonymous]I did not go this year, but went to Walls and ones at 3 other selective schools last year plus MacArthur, and Walls was by far the most unpleasant. It was overly crowded, both in the hallways and in the classrooms, the teachers seemed to just be regurgitating information about what levels of each of their subjects were offered at the school (Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4, AP, etc.). I'm sure this info was based on what kinds of questions parents ask, but there was no attempt to engage students or get them excited about anything. Everyone was kind and the student guides were helpful, but it almost seemed like they felt like they didn't have to try because they are generally the most sought-after. I still encouraged my child to apply, but if we based our ranking on open houses alone, they would have been last.[/quote]
