[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of Walls student (11th grader)...have not been particularly happy.  Lots of busy work; remote learning last year was terrible (teachers were often absent and not very engaged when they were online).  School coasts on it's high "ranking" but that is purely due to the fact that it gets to screen its students (the students are, for the most part, lovely but because they come from all over the city it is hard for them to socialize outside of school.)

I can't speak to Wilson (we are OOB) but if we had a decent option we'd switch.

I have an 11th grader at Walls too.  We've been basically happy.  DCPS dysfunction yes, and probably alot of why Walls does well is that it is a good student body.  But still my son's teachers have been good for the most part.  And he has alot of work but I do not think it is busy work.

I think most of his teachers did a good job with remote learning although I agree it was not ideal.  And wish they had brought the 11th graders back even if it was one day a week last year.  [/quote]
I have a 10th grader at Walls and your experience matches mine. To add a bit more detail, the students are well behaved, the classrooms are conducive to learning, and the material is targeted to highly prepared students. We are inbound for Wilson but fit was better at Walls. Our 8th grader at Deal will likely go to Wilson but that is not a reflection on the experience at Walls; again just a fit issue.[/quote]
