[quote=Anonymous]If your kid doesn't crack Walls, OP, obviously no point in exploring further. But if they do, I'd make a point of talking to particularly picky Walls parents, those who went with private middle schools. There are a bunch on Capitol Hill if that's where you live, OP. Walls produces PSAT National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists each spring; DCI produces zero. Walls' average SAT scores are much higher than DCI's and it's normal for Walls students to score a slew of 5s on AP exams. DCI's brainless college counselors don't encourage the strongest students to double up on AP exams, standard practice in strong IB Diploma programs in this country. Nice that one or two UMC Walls students are being admitted to Ivies each year but that doesn't change the fact that Walls is the stronger program academically by a wide margin.[/quote]
