My son is at NBMS but does his language outside of school, so I cannot recommend or warn you off any particular teacher. Having said that, it seems to me that you should plan for your child to go all the way up to the AP class in that language, to really make a positive impact for college applications. So figure out which APs are given at Walter Johnson and count down 5 years (if taking an entire course in one year, not just A or B) :-)

Another thing about electives at NBMS. Some elective teachers are no good at all - one told the students at the beginning of the year they would all get As in her class, and surprise! They all got Bs. Why would she say something like that? Another one was teaching some sort of comp sci intro, and my husband the NIH bio-informatician noticed a whole lot of incorrect definitions in her handouts the students were supposed to memorize for her test. Anyway. The chorus teacher is wonderful and engaging, so I recommend that whole-heartedly.
