[quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent from upthread whose kid's experience was good.  I do want to acknowledge that I know other parents whose kids didn't have a good experience.  I know of one entire friend group of 6-8 kids from middle school of whom only one eventually graduated from Wilson.  Some transferred to charters, some went private and some moved to other regular DCPS high schools (not the ones DCUM readers discuss) where they thrived because the schools did a better job of meeting those kids where they were, not pushing them into honors and AP classes.

It does feel to me like post-pandemic Wilson is struggling  much more with staffing, with some negative consequences of the 4x4 schedule, and with the negative impact of honors for all (including the negative impacts on kids who need on-level classes, not being forced into honors classes that they don't want).

I'm curious what current parents are hearing from the admin, from the PTSO and from the LSAT.  Looking online, I notice that there don't seem to have been LSAT minutes posted since 2020 (https://www.wilsonhs.org/m/pages/index.jsp?dir=LSAT%20Meeting%20Minutes%20%20Past&uREC_ID=127889&type=d&termREC_ID=&pREC_ID=487509).  Are you guys reaching to LSAT representatives, and if so, what are you hearing from them?[/quote]
