[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]

Wilson is a much larger school than Walls and is also a neighborhood school.  Perhaps one way of framing the question is: What opportunities and experiences will an excellent student have when you compare the two schools?  It’s quite easy to see that a given excellent student might have a “better” experience at Wilson, which might have a wider variety of both excellent classes and extracurricular options vs a much smaller school with a selected population.  As with any school, fit matters. [/quote]
