[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue here is since we are already being selective, tests are more fair than GPA and interviews. [/quote] A lot of folks responding to this thread don't seem to know what changed in the last 2 years at Walls. The CURRENT selectivity (at least to get to the interview process) is GPA threshold + teacher recommendations (weighted extremely heavily). As a result, Walls is actively screening OUT kids based on their unspecified scoring of (obviously, non-normed) teacher rec forms. Before two years ago, the process was also arbitrary - but kids screened into the interview/essay based on GPA alone and teacher recs were not considered in the process. Before that, of course, the school looked at PARCC scores and the entrance exam.[/quote]
