[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son just took the SAT at Wilson school today and I have to say I am not impressed with Wilson school.  The facility at Wilson school is so much inferior as compare to Langley HS.  I walked by the tennis courts at Wilson HS and they look awful.  Is this the best public school that DC can offer?

I find it highly amusing and telling that you judge the teaching and status  of a high school based on its tennis courts.  Wilson is an urban school with a diverse student body and teachers committed to teaching to kids raised in a city.  Langley is not only suburban, but it’s a wealthy, majority white school.  I would never  send my kids to Langley. There are some things that are frustrating about DCPS however it is a good education and my kids are very happy. They have a diverse socioeconomic friend group and they are independent thinkers and learners. They have to learn how to self advocate and  fundraise if they want extra activities or benefits. Life is not being handed to them on a silver platter — even though we could. So, I suppose it’s about our family value value systems. Please stay in Virginia if our tennis courts are not up to your standards. [/quote]

Wilson has more white kids than any other group and growing every year. What is it 10 years away from being that wealthy white oasis you decry?  I concede it will always have a better basketball team. Also hate to burst your bubble twice buy tenley town is suburban, it just has a “busing like” urban OOB program that each and every IB parent try’s to find get rid of.  [/quote]
