[quote=Anonymous]The recent Walls Open House was absurdly crowded.  On the recent virtual OH, the presenter said they had failed to close registration at the cap of 400 families and let like 600 families register.  Yay DCPS.

I agree with PP that the teachers must misunderstand the purpose of an OH since all most of them just said, "We have these classes" (just like all other DCPS high schools...).

My DD liked the school, but I have to say that my early impression of the admin and some teachers is weak (physics/anatomy teacher excepted).  They seem to pitch that it's a great school because it's students score relatively well on standardized tests and get into decent colleges, but then of course they do because that's built into the students they start with.  They need to spend more effort explaining what Walls does to provide a distinctive educational opportunity for its students rather than just crowing about the students.

Meanwhile, because a lame bus company once employed a drunk driver to drive around ES students, now the students at Walls cannot easily leave the building.  So forget the whole "without walls" thing.
