[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go with Walls. At least there, you have an overall consistent high performing peer group.

The detracking with honors for all at Wilson has been a disaster.  [/quote]

I completely disagree...I had one go through Walls and have one at Wilson now (we encouraged our second to go to Wilson over Walls because Walls was such a disappointment)--Walls teachers and admin were mediocre at best; the kids were smart, but not any smarter than the cohort my DS hangs with at Wilson (and the teaching has been a lot better).  [b]I don't think the "honors for all" thing for two classes (9th grade bio and English) has been a big deal[/b]...plenty of challenging classes and lots of very smart kids.[/quote]

No one cares about this except for a few angry DCUM parents. It’s really not an issue. My smart, motivated kid had great experiences in 9th grade English and Bio. [/quote]

My DD's 9th grade bio teacher (who is also one of the Wilson AP bio teachers) was amazing and it was a fantastic, challenging class.  The complaints about "honors for all" come from people who complain about everything and/or who think their "gifted" or "advanced" kids are entitled to always be in selective classes.  [/quote]

That 9th grade honors bio teacher is truly amazing.  Able to engage all the students in a truly challenging, thought provoking  class.  [/quote]
