[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] The common thing I hear among those who would not go private is "we're going to apply to walls and if it doesn't work then we move out of the district".

This is not me saying this, BTW - just what I hear. [/quote]

That is weird, because Wilson HS generally posts up a better outcome (SAT, Top 50 University) than SWW for the student who is the child of parents who could easily afford tuition at an independent school or a home in Arlington.

In any case, far, far more kids from CCDC, AU Park, Glover Park, Friendship Hts and environs attend Wilson over Walls.  The sticky on the DC Schools forum has a link showing this.

So I guess all your friends who you hear from -- the ones who can't stomach Wilson and will pull up stakes if they don't get into SWW --  must not live in Ward 3, PP.  Correct?

Some are in ward 3, also ward 2. I bet some will stay despite what they say. Some are already in the 'burbs. Yes, that still happens   :)

The data shows that Deal sent about 50% of its graduating class to Wilson last year, despite being a feeder to Wilson. SWW is one fifth the size of Wilson, but it takes its share of Deal grads.

Which, I think, proves that you cannot just add the Deal and Hardy classes to predict the Wilson class, my original point.

You should discount the Deal class by a factor of 0.5, and the Hardy class by whatever factor, to make a proper estimate.

So, sorry for offending you, but the point remains.
