[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why worry, OP, your odds of admission to Walls aren't good. Moreover, the school is going downhill without standardized test scores in admissions for three years now.  The  new head doesn't have a clear vision for the place, and that's putting it mildly.  Some good teachers, yes, good crew team, not much else to cheer about at Walls these days.

This is incredibly inaccurate. I have a child at Walls and they love it and  I am very please with it as well. Nothing is perfect but so far almost all of their teachers have been great. Also, they don't have a crew team. [b]They used to be allowed to row for Jackson Reed but stopped offering that as an option two years ago I believe.[/b] [/quote]

Not inaccurate.  Embarrassingly and painfully accurate.

Incorrect, a bunch of Walls students still row for J-R, including first-year students.

I completely disagree with your assessment of Walls but am happy we have had a great experience.

Yes, current rowers are allowed to stay on the JR team but they stopped allowing Walls students to join this year. [/quote]

How are first-year Walls students rowing then?[/quote]

There are two first-year Walls students rowing on JR's crew team this year because they were in the 8th grade learn-to-row program that JR runs last year, and were grandfathered in. [/quote]
