[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of a Walls sophomore; I don’t remember the prompt but they had to write a few paragraphs, handwritten. It was not too intense - just want to make sure your kid can write and organize their thoughts clearly.

This may sound a bit harsh, but it feels worth saying: if you are worried about your child being able to handle the admissions essay, I would think hard if Walls is the right place for your kid. There is a lot of independent work and the writing expectations are high, so if you’re providing a lot of support or have to motivate your child, Walls may not be the right fit. [/quote]

Lol.

There is so much grade inflation at Walls that the average GPA is close to 4.0.[/quote]

[i]
The junior class at Walls has an average GPA of 3.93, a number school counselor Kathryn Moore called “very high.” She also noted that the median GPA was over a 4.0.

“It’s definitely hurt my work ethic,” Douglas said. “When I go to college, it’s going to hurt me because I’m not actively putting in as much effort as I should or as I could because of those policies. So when I go to college, I won’t be as prepared. I won’t have the strong work ethic that I probably could have [had] if those policies weren’t in place.”[/i]
