[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Next for application schools; Walls seems like the best option to apply to but I have heard some negative things about it such as the staff and principal not being very good and communicative and it being very cliquey so I'm wondering if that's true.[/quote]

Walls parent here. The principal has been very present from my experience this year. She attends the parent meetings and is visible at school events. I’m not sure transparency or communication is the issue.

There does seem to be friction between parents and the principal: homecoming location (at the school), the number of field trips teachers can take, etc. And I’m not sure they are at odds, it just seems like parents advocate for their kids a lot and the principal often says “we cannot do that for x reason.”

Other Walls parents, correct me if I’m wrong. I’ve had positive interactions with the principal and see how active she is with families so I don’t really understand that comment when I see it.

As for staff, my DC “has the best teachers.” according to DC. There is one teacher who is very disorganized and should probably not teach in a high school setting but all others seem to make up for that one.[/quote]
