[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, Wilson kind of sucks now.  But that should be a topic of its own thread,if anyone's interested.

On topic:  is Duke a good location for students interested in high academic achievement?  Resoundingly, "no." DESA is an arts school, period.

A more interesting question would be whether Banneker or Walls is any good for students interested in the arts as well as academics.[/quote]

The entire methodology for US News has changed with teh 2019 rating. Looking at test scores and graduation rate, Wilson is higher rated now than it has been. [/quote]

Well, as we all know, in DCPS "graduation rate" is suspect if not meaningless.  Test scores are similarly meaningless for purposes of rating a school's desirability, as basically we're rating scores that went up from 1 out of 5 to 1.2 out of 5.[/quote]

The PP’s point was Wilson isn’t ‘going downhill.’ In fact it is improving academically compared to where it was 6-7 years ago. [/quote]
