[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bowser administration is the primary obstacle to higher achievement and competent and visionary leadership at Walls. The status quo works for her and DC lacks a school board with normal school board power. Obviously, nothing much can change until the political calculus does. In the meantime, don’t expect Walls spots for most if DC’s highest performers and supplement away if you’re aiming high in college admissions from DCPS.   [/quote]

The political calculus won't change. If Walls was to become as high performing as the suburban magnets, then only a very few middle schools could every supply students who wouldn't be hopelessly behind. No mayor if going to want the city's magnet to exclude students from the vast majority of DCPS middle schools just because those schools have curriculums and standards aren't adequate to prepare students for rigorous high schools [/quote]

Don't disagree...My conspiracy theory believes that if DCPS really wanted to have a G&T track that the private schools would complain and they would go out of business. It's happening in other cities. Not that far fetched.... [/quote]
