They do not allow tours of the building or shadowing before admission due to the size of the school and disruption it would create.

I call BS on this. Wilson has tours. Hardy has tours. Deal has tours. Charters have tours. My IB elementary, which is 14 rooms, has tours. If they wanted to have tours, they would figure out a way to have tours. They don't have tours because they don't feel they need to.[/quote]

+100 and their pool may shrink as less kids peel off from Latin and Basis for high school, more stay at Wilson, and other charters start going all the way through.

Interesting thing I heard from a parent with a kid at Walls and the rest at a charter: they said definitively that there  is a real alcohol and drug issue at Walls.  Wondering if other current Walls parents agree?

Between me and my sibs and cousins we went to 4 different highly regarded private schools here and I can tell you we had our fair share of alcohol and drugs, and some of the kids experimenting or even regularly smoking or drinking on the weekends got into the Ivy League or top SLACs, and then continued to do it at Harvard etc, they did not let it affect their academic performance at all.  But it was mostly the boys leading the charge, and I am not sure most parents had a clue because grades did not slip etc, so just curious.....[/quote]
