[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would've been OK with Walls pre Covid, under the sharp, dynamic previous head, [b]when an entrance exam was used to screen students and applicants had to submit a standardized test score (PARCC, PSAT, SAT).[/b] Post Covid, Walls obviously isn't the school it used to be.  Neighbors and friends with sophomore, juniors and seniors describe serious problems like no subs, weak ad hoc humanities instruction (whatever individual teachers want it to be) and teachers quitting mid-year and not being replaced until the fall. We rejected our Walls offer for a private this spring.

How is the first part of your complaint (no longer an entrance exam) related to the second part (somehow? = no subs).  [/quote]

No brainer.  Walls and J-R have both gone downhill, markedly, in the last several years on various levels.  The college prep they're offering in 2023 just isn't on a par with the college prep they were offering in 2019 despite the steady UMC influx at J-R in the intervening years.  Many indicators point in the same direction: decline.
