[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP above, you're thinking like a New Yorker or Bostonian aiming for a child's admission to a bona fide test-in magnet HS with a stable and transparent admissions process. Unfortunately, what Mayor Bowser seems to care most about in the ed sphere is strong AA representation in DCPS' highest-performing cohorts.  She shows no sign of giving a hoot about high-achieving Asian students like yours.  She runs unopposed and faces no real political headwinds on this one. Yes, your super high-achieving and multi-talented son should have been admitted.  Indeed, four years ago, it sounds like he'd have been a shoe-in.  Find your greener pastures knowing that the fact that Walls has started rejecting dozens of applicants as worthy as yours says that you have little to lament in his unjust exclusion.  Walls is going downhill year on year.  Sounds like you belong in the burbs.

Bowser only cares about money which is why you have so many cameras everywhere, but that's a different topic.  SWW is only 26% AA if you look at current demographics, but was historically a majority AA school just like the city was. The changing demographics of the city also changes the demographics of the school systems. Bowser can't control that.   Look at the graduation pictures in the hall of the school and you'll see what the past student body mix was.  Most of the non AA SWW students came from families that stayed in the city after white flight of the 60s or from families that lived on Bolling AFB. They use to bus the kids back and forth from the school to the base.  Most Deal kids went straight to Wilson.  I'm not sure when the trend started of Deal kids going to Walls began. The student body was also mostly AA historically because they selected kids from all over the city which again was majority AA at that time. AA kids came in the 9th grade. Deal historically extended to the 9th grade so an influx of kids would come in the 10th grade, but even most of them were AA.   [/quote]
