[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never see WIS discussed but it appears to be just as competent at sending kids to the Ivies as STA/NCS, Sidwell, and GDS.  So why do we pretend it doesn't exist?[/quote]

A. Comparing WIS to non-IB is schools is useless. Like apples and star fruit.  ;)

B. It's a small pool of comparables. Three are public or public charter schools. One is Catholic (Archbishop Carroll). One is for-profit (British International School) and then there's WIS.

That's not a lot of parents to begin with. Why would they spend much time here? Ivies aren't usually a priority for parents and students who pick IB Diploma schools.

BTW, the public DC schools include Benjamin Banneker (academically selective STEM school, also AP.), Eastern (honors program, not the entire school), DC International (charter with bilingual feeder school network). DCI is probably closest to WIS in bilingual model. It's free, but you only get in by lottery. You literally cannot buy your way into the school.

So are we done with this thread or are the PP trolls coming back out from under their bridges?

Stay safe!
