[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SWW has better academics than Wilson.

SWW also has better college admissions than Wilson per capita (Wilson is four times bigger than SWW).

Everybody knows that, and that’s why send our kids to SWW.

Want proof?  Here you go:

USN&W ranks SWW #2 in the DC area, right beyond TJ (which some consider the best high school in the country; TJ has far better college admissions than any other high school in the area, including Top 3 privates).

Wilson ranks #73.

Again, I have no dog in this fight, but this is proof?  Look at how the rankings are calculated...ANY school that screens students (based on a test or GPA) is going to rank very highly because they are going to get higher-than-average kids...the only thing this proves is that USNews is (as always) able to dupe a huge number of people with BS rankings.

USN&WR puts Walls at #2 in the DMV and Wilson at #73.  You think that is BS.  You must be a Wilson parent.

Take a look at the USN&WR college rankings.  Harvard is tied for #2 and the University of Indiana is tied for #68.  Both are good universities.  If your kid was accepted to both and they were free, which would you pick?  I guess you would pick Indiana.
