[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are moving from Oakland to DC and have a 15 year old daughter who does quite well academically. Wilson looks like a bit of a mixed bag. Can anyone share their experiences with the school?  Especially interested in the experiences of college-bound students seeking AP and honors course work.

Do/did your kids like Wilson?  Good education?  Good environment? Good college prep?  Drawbacks?

How does it compare to School without Walls?

Appreciate the insights![/quote]

Have you been admitted to School without Walls yet?  If not, why does it matter.  There is no reasonable alternative but Wilson.

You can expect to have poster after poster insist that Wilson is fantastic for college-bound students, but the real truth is that while it's fine it's not nearly as good as many suburban high schools.  [/quote]

This is likely true, in the case of Whitman, Yorktown, Churchill, and Langley and maybe one or two other HSs.  Falls Church?   But if you went to those high schools, you'd be living in the car-dependent suburbs (yes, they are) and quite possibly, you'd be living in Virginia.     So there's that.[/quote]
