[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walls is a mediocre public school...good for DC but nowhere near the top (or even second tier) local private schools.  Teachers are overall uninspired and unmotivated and it shows.  The administration is abysmal. If private is an option for you (and you are not morally opposed to private education, which understandably many people are), I'd say go for private.  If you are in-boundary to J-R and your kid can handle large/overcrowded chaos, I'd even consider that over Walls.  I've had two kids go through Walls and my third is at J-R and I am overall more impressed with the caliber of teaching there (though it is certainly not a top private education either).[/quote]

I think Walls’ recent Harvard grad, now Rhodes Scholar would disagree with you.  She give Walls a lot of credit in terms of her academic preparation for Harvard and beyond. However, other children may need the extra handholding that private school provides.[/quote]

She is an super impressive URM child of two highly educated academics.  She would have gone to Harvard and received the Rhodes if she had gone to Walls, JR, NCS, Sidwell, Stone Ridge, BCC, etc.  She would have rise to the top at any school.  Really. [/quote]
