[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at both Wilson and Walls both college bound (she says hopefully).  Walls is great for a kid who does not want the distraction of kids who are not on the same track.  The absentee principal does not help, but the cohort of motivated and engaged students makes up for a lot.  There is a TON of work compared to Wilson, but if you have a kid who likes school and wants an intellectual challenge Walls is great.  The kids also have a lot more freedom.

Wilson and Walls both have some good and not so good teachers.  While Wilson has more in the way or sports, Wilson has a soccer team and is competitive with Wilson in many sports.  Wilson offers tons of extra-curriculum and Walls has some, but not nearly as many.  Still if your child wanted to start something at Walls, she would definitely be able to do so.

Wilson can be good for a motivated student, but I have not seen that the teachers or administration really pushes kids who are not already motivated to do well.  It sounds, however, like your kids is one who is so motivated and therefore, I would think either school would be a fine fit.[/quote]
