[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because only 20% of Wilson students meet basic proficiency standards for reading and math. Hopefully your private can beat that. https://www.niche.com/k12/woodrow-wilson-high-school-washington-dc/ [/quote] If you attend a public high school like this in DC, you may get into an elite college to meet its holistic admissions goals (including geographical diversity), but you're more likely to struggle academically. [/quote] Nobody from DC is getting in to a school for geographical diversity. Think South Dakota. This is straight from a test prep owner. I'm not sure why it's a problem for kids to "struggle" in college. People who want to do well, to make a difference, to stand out struggle to do so. Life is a struggle. Some kids will struggle academically, while others struggle socially, or with being independent. I'm not sure that one is worse than the other. [/quote]
