[quote=Anonymous]I have an acquaintance who sent her kid through Wilson in the past 7-8 years.  The kid went to a great college  (top rated SLAC) but the mom told me he was "not at all prepared" compared to the other kids.  That was sobering!  It particularly worries me that Wilson had a big fat zero in national merit semifinalists.  (Don't want to start a discussion about the supposedly high cut off - I'd expect the top public school in DC to have at least a couple strivers who get National Merit.)   So, serious concerns about Wilson and I'm considering saving up money to send my child to private for HS.  We likely can't afford private all the way through, so I'm thinking about investing where it may be more important.  Hopefully with good instruction, my kid could make up any weaknesses he has due to poor math and English instruction in DCPS if he gets into a better school by middle or high school.

Banneker and Walls are also intriguing options that we might consider when the time comes.  And obviously, Wilson could improve by then too.  Would consider Latin and Basis for charters.
