[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem parents don't want to talk about is that if you have reason to shoot for elite collegs (Ivies, Little Ivies, military academies, top technical programs like MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford etc.) from Wilson, you have to pay a lot, and do a lot, to supplement for all four years to have  a shot.  You generally even have to hire your own college counselor.  The whole process is exhausting and expensive.  Many simply give up and go private, go to Walls, or move to the burbs.  I agree that students aiming for 2nd and 3-tier schools can be well served at Wilson.  So call us names, sock-puppets, or hysterical parents, but the fact remains that AP classes aren't open to all comers at most suburban schools.  Academic standards for top performers are higher, much higher, outside the by-right HS realm in the District.[/quote]

This is not correct.  It is crazy hysterical nonsense from someone who has obviously never been through the process.
