[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry this is very late, i thought some people might want to hear it though.  I'm a student at Walls and overall it's a pretty sucky school. You're right about all the students being very motivated pushing eachother along, but that's about all that the school has to offer. I've had horrible teachers, mediocre teachers, and a couple great teachers (which were for math and sciences, ironically, being a humanities school).  There is a great culture here of super smart motivated students, but the academics are worse than I had at my local middle school.  I've had a teacher verbally abuse my classmates and I.  He would shout at us a whole lot, and not like a normal teacher shouting at some misbehaving kids.  We could do something small like walk up to his desk and ask him a question, and he'd just clench his fists and yell at us and it was honestly really scary because you could tell he was literally refraining from physically hurting us. 
But there is a really cool program that might make going to walls worth it, which is the[b] gwecp-aa program where you start taking college classes full time at GWU your junior year and once you get your diploma you also get an AA degree from GW.[/b][/quote] I have several friends that have kids at SWW and they tell me that while this is a great program the truth is very few kids are eligible to take advantage of it.[/quote]

Why are so few students eligible? How does one qualify for the GW program?[/quote] I didn't ask so I'm not really sure.  [/quote]
