[quote=Anonymous]My child graduated from Walls and having the same counselor for four years worked well for us.  We found Walls to be on top of the idea that the college process is a 4 year endeavor -- way more than the HRCS my other child attends.

Personally, I think the social environment at the school is fine.  There always seemed to be plenty of school spirit to me.  Are there girls running down the hall in cheerleading outfits like in the movies - not that I saw.  They are teenage kids like at every other high school.  It ranges from peppy-squeely girls to sullen-moody teens -- like any school.  My child had a great social experience and visits high school friends whenever there is a college break.

It's a small school with mixed teachers.  There were definitely a couple of teachers (tenured) who rubbed us the wrong way but we got through it.  No bullying or exclusion that we ever saw and I think there is minimal behavior problems.  Also, we did not experience the academic competition that some PP's have mentioned.  To us, it was a good school, with plenty of nice, smart, goofy kids. [/quote]
