Yes.  College admissions were pretty crappy this year, even from Walls.  Colleges can't trust DCPS transcripts because they don't know if they're getting a top student with a 4.0 or a completely average one.

I don't understand this comment whatsoever...college admissions were generally what they always are, even from Walls.

It's also a silly comment because Walls had a fair amount of Presidential Scholars (12+), which means that group scored a 1580+ on the SAT in just one sitting.  I am sure plenty more superscored to 1500+.[/quote]

No, Walls’ college admissions this year were noticeably mediocre, compared to last year. Look at the IG pages for both classes (‘23 and ‘24). There were far fewer students heading to Ivy/Ivy+/T20 universities in 2024. [/quote]

IG pages aren’t anything definitive.  If that’s what you are using, that’s the problem.

Sorry…college admissions have not changed much for Walls and it is silly to think a DCPS grading policy is to blame.

The Walls guidance counselor has actually said to parents that last year’s admissions were a bit off the norm.[/quote]
