[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing yet. 9pm Tuesday and interviews start this Saturday.[/quote] Same. My kid has a 4.0 and I am assuming good teacher recs, so expecting at least an interview[/quote] lol[/quote] Same, and we have heard nothing. No interview invite. No ding. I thought this was a magnet school where they considered a student's application, but this feels like pure lottery.[/quote] It’s essentially both. There is a lot of demand and not a lot of supply, so essentially it’s a lottery to whittle down. Im sorry for those qualified kids who didn’t get an interview. [/quote] The system is just horrid. DC needs more schools like Walls. If they had more schools city-wide of Walls' size it would benefit so many kids. [/quote] Couldn't agree more, unfortunately there's a lot of pushback in DC against creating more magnet or selective high schools, since the population skews heavily towards needs on the other end of the spectrum, which ends up hurting kids on the accelerated end. They've even diluted it down further by taking things like the test away from admission criteria for Walls. Even harder is trying to establish selective selective middle schools, which is why certain charter schools have become a proxy of sorts to satisfy this gap. You can voice this need to your Council member, but likely to fall on deaf ears. [/quote]
