Also has anyone been deemed ineligible for Walls yet? Odd for that designation to be appearing for one school but not the other. McKinley's waitlist is likely small enough that they didn't have to do a cutoff, but I would presume that Walls and Banneker would have similar applicant numbers and similar cut offs for the lottery pool.[/quote]

The difference is that Walls puts every kid they interview but who doesn't match on a waitlist. And then that waitlist moves some amount over the summer/fall.

Banneker (and McKinley) have historically not maintained a waitlist - so they match the kids they match and no one else gets in.

More transparency in all of the selective high school application review processes would be very valuable, but DCPS doesn't want it so it won't happen.[/quote]

One has to wonder why DCPS doesn’t want transparency.[/quote]

Isn’t it obvious?  Equity people.  [/quote]

I’m actually not sure if that’s it. But there is something super shady about the process.[/quote]

It’s probably like most things in DC where no one is used to being held accountable, no one really was doing anything all that systematic, and even central/ the administration is afraid to look under the rug as it were for what it would reveal.

As bad as race relations can be in DC, stuff like colorism can be far worse, and that might have been written down in some deeply inconvenient ways.[/quote]

You apply to private to see how competitive your child truly is?

I think a lot of people here have flawed perspective of their kids.
