[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought the point is that you can go there for the free daycare/PS/PK, but after that you're on your own.

Also, Basis, Latin and DCI are the public middle schools of choice for families on the Hill who care about academics.[/quote]

Really?  I'll be sure to pass that on to all the Hill families at SH--who knew they didn't care about academics!  Their poor kids--must have gotten into Walls by mistake...[/quote]

It's not all that hard to get into Walls from SH.  DC is not NYC, where 8th graders rise fall on the strength of SSAT admissions test scores in applying to magnet high schools like Stuyvesant and Bronx Science.  Neither is it Boston, where 6th graders compete to land spots at Boston Latin without admissions officers knowing anything about them (race, current school, socioeconomic status).  The admissions process at Walls is highly subjective.  SH isn't a bad middle school for DCPS, but comparing first year PARCC scores to those coming out of Deal, Washington Latin and BASIS gave me pause.  Look at scores broken down by race and/or class and you'll see what I mean.
