[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New in town here looking at high schools and based on math and English proficiency and college admissions Walls looks way better than Wilson   What am I missing?? Thank you!  [/quote]

Current walls students had to test to get in and functions like a magnet school. Wilson is a normal public school. [/quote]

But then why are people on this thread saying Wilson is as good as or better than Walls, academically? Isn't that just objectively not true? [/quote]

No, it's not "objectively not true."  Walls screens for a group of above average students and they have overall better scores than Wilson, which does not do any such screening.  However, in the experience of many, Wilson does just as good a job (if not better) actually educating all students, including the subset of student they have that are above average (and there are many, many very smart students at Wilson).  Comparing the test scores of the two schools doesn't make a lot of sense.....[/quote]
