What does Walls' admissions process have to do with the Mayor's office?[/quote]

Nothing..the test was the decision of the Principal just like the adding the interview. The issue was math-DCPS middle schools don't have the same offerings. So a lot of kids were at a disadvantage. Maybe the test comes back--who knows. Personally, I think the school needs a refresh of teachers. Too many are just "there" and suck![/quote]

The test is not coming back.  The reason it was removed was the pandemic.  Then they decided it was an equity/access issue from DCPS/Central Office/Mayor.  Not going to back to a test.  Has nothing to do with DCPS middle school math offerings.

As for your comments on the teachers, nice to know how you feel about veteran staff![/quote]

Lots of cities scrapped admissions tests for magnet schools during the pandemic.

Except for DC, they have all returned to the tests.[/quote]

Which schools?  The famous longstanding Boston, Chicago, New York, San Fran, Miami and Dallas and Houston test in high school magnets?  Not a one.  Check.[/quote]

NYC, Boston, Chicago & San Fran all definitely back. Don’t know about the others.[/quote]

It's also back for Dallas and Philadelphia as well. Houston requires you to have been recognized as "gifted and talented" by previous school testing.

So basically it's DC and Miami that don't rely on testing.  And I wouldn't base anything on Miami (horrendous school district).
