[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to know more about Walls and Banneker as well. I have numerous friends whose children think they’ll game the system by taking easy classes at our Capitol Hill middle school while we went to a charter and took the most demanding classes. I honestly would prefer continuing at our charter than having my kid get bored with [b]a bunch of kids who aren’t on grade level.[/b] But then again maybe Walls or Banneker is better?  [/quote]

I wouldn't judge these kids too harshly. They will be straight A students who are meeting the highest requirements for the school they are in and most of them will rise to the occasion of a harder school. Aptitudes will vary and there are certainly some 99th percentile kids who go to DCPS. Put them in a more challenging situation and they will do very well.

And I'm saying this as someone who chose one of the hard charters for middle school instead of DCPS. If they wanted to go to Walls and were lucky enough to get in, I would not be worried about peer group at ALL. [/quote]
