[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest attends a DCPS MS EotP where easy As are standard. She hardly has any homework, doesn't have to break a sweat at school, easily earns straight As. Meanwhile, her elementary school pals who went on to BASIS and Latin--we never got off the waiting list for either--obviously must work much harder for their As.

You're not going to convince me that 8th grade GPA cut offs are terribly relevant in the public middle school landscape of this particular city. When one of my kid's older siblings applied to Walls, he took the entrance exam AND had to submit his 7th grade PARCC scores. That was more like it. There was an objective standard Walls applicants had to rise to.

The new admissions system isn't a total joke, but it's close.[/quote]

Too bad your youngest child attends such an awful school.  Hopefully, Walls doesn’t take any students from your child’s crappy EotP middle school.  My child attends a much better WotP school with a strong track record of students doing well at Walls and privates.

Are you too broke to send your child to a private high school?  [/quote]. Our “awful” DCPS middle school sends more 8th graders to Walls than BASIS or Latin.[/quote]

That is not the flex you think it is.[/quote]
