[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: I mean, did you even bother to have your kid apply to other schools like Banneker - McKinley or lottery for Latin - Basis? Walls has been cultivating absolute mediocrity for the past four years since getting rid of the test, yet everyone on this forum continues to act as if it is the only best high school in DC. It's not. Your kid deserves better.[/quote]

Agreed. It's sad how people extol Walls when it's really not a very good school that's a PITA to get to. [/quote]

Walls still has by far the best AP and SAT scores in the city. I think the kids at McKinley are hard-working and it's a much better option than their zoned high schools, which are mostly Ward 7 and 8, but PP's kid will be an outlier there. Absolutely apply to Banneker, too, which is in the middle on these metrics, but their process is also opaque and does not use standardized tests. (No one's does.)[/quote]

No, BASIS DC does.[/quote]

For DCPS high schools, obviously. And you can't get into BASIS in the 9th grade. [/quote]
