[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is the college counseling support/process at SWW? Can someone describe that aspect of the program?[/quote]

My child graduated from Walls.  We found the counseling support to be very good.  Same counselor for four years - really knew our child when college application time came around.  Always had good info to share.  There were parent meetings with the counselor each year - freshman should start thinking about this, sophomores should do this, etc...  That was very helpful.  Counselor helped move things along and made sure child was on track.  Was super encouraging but also honest.

As an aside, I've skimmed through this thread - I will add that I do not recall in the four years we were at Walls hearing any of my child's friends bragging about the amount of homework they do.  If someone heard kids doing it, I'd wonder about the context.  Maybe it's comparing the amount of homework at Walls relative to another high school?  Teenagers can be weird.  Agree that the teachers are a mixed bag - some are stellar and many are good.  My child had a couple that were awful - one of which was a humanities teacher that was shockingly horrendous (but tenured).

Good Luck, OP.  [/quote]
