Signed mom of a highly-gifted, academically-motivated kid with ASD who’s at the top of her current class, yet who may not get into Walls due to the interview.  Same child would definitely get accepted into a test-in program.[/quote]

Then you should have moved to Maryland or Virginia where she could apply to a test-in program.  Stop shouting into the wind.  This is on YOU![/quote]

SWW was partially a test-in program and, when it was, the grade cutoffs were lower. They dropped it during COVID and haven't brought it back. Programs in MD and VA have also been in flux. This was not something you could have planned for.

But the complete neglect of smart kids who aren't zoned for JR within DCPS - that all of the options are a total lottery, and if you lose your only option is a school where your kid will be multiple years ahead of their classmates - is articulated pretty well by "screw you, move". [/quote]

Walls hasn’t had a test-in component since 2019.  You’ve had 4 years to plan for this possibility.[/quote]

They dropped it because of COVID. It was entirely reasonable to think it would come back. We still have no idea if/when it will come back or what other districts in the area are going to do. [/quote]
