[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will it say honors on the transcript?[/quote]

Who cares what is on the transcript? What matters is what kind of education is happening in the classroom.[/quote]

And an education geared to the weakest students sucks for the rest.

Which is what Wilson has decided to do.[/quote]

Cynical, I know, but is it possible Wilson is doing this in hopes that some of the higher SES families will go private, thus helping solve the overcrowding problem without having to take measures like adjusting boundaries?[/quote]

Well, not many of us have a spare $90K/year laying around so that won't work very well.[/quote]

Actually, it may start going the other way, with more parents shifting to Walls and Wilson rather than opting for private.  As that happens, more OOB students will be pushed out of Deal, Hardy and Wilson.  The 'localization' of our schools overall will benefit these schools, attracting more community involvement and resulting in enhanced academic performance, but we shouldn't kid ourselves that there will be forceful political pushback as this happens.[/quote]
