[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree that we’ve all been blinded by Wilson because it’s been dangled as a shiny silver bell. I think SWW is a far superior option based on research. I really do hope that Central Office would coordinate between all the high schools and come up with a comprehensive list for summer reading varied by level within certain parameters. There should be no reason why DCPS cannot do that for all learners. If students are ESOL/SPED then there should be a note on the reading list noting which books might be appropriate for those learners. But alas, DCPS is all politics and very little prose. [/quote]

There is no reason that Wilson would have the same books as SWW. SWW is a humanities focused application school where students test in.

Wilson shares a basic curriculum with Coolidge, Roosevelt, Dunbar, Ballou and so on until you reach the AP classes, when Wilson has more. If you want to attend a comprehensive high school, this is how it works.

If you want more academically look at SWW, Banneker, McKinley, Bard and Coolidge Early College. [/quote]
