[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are nuts. I am a Wilson parent and am not impressed. [b]It is mediocre at best [/b]and yes, my kid has all As.
I wish we were at a Bethesda HS. Probably made a mistake not moving. My kid should get into a good college with his GPA but there is so much more to HS than getting As.[/quote]

PP, you sound so much like a charter booster parent.

There are so many classes to choose from. 
You want to take all AP's, you can do so after 9th grade.

About 15 students scored perfect on their ACT and SAT. Is that mediocre?[/quote]

Then why aren't those 15 students on the Presidential scholar eligibility list, which is based entirely on scores? The list is supposed to be the top 40 scoring students who live in DC.

"All graduating high school seniors who are citizens of the United States or legal permanent residents, enrolled in either private or public high schools, and who have scored exceptionally well on either the SAT of the College Board or the ACT Assessment of the American College Testing Program on or before October of each year are automatically considered for participation.

The United States Department of Education then examines the test records for the top 30 males and top 30 females in each state/jurisdiction. The combined file of scores from the top male examinees and top female examinees are then ranked from high to low in each state. The scores associated with the top 20 male examinees and top 20 female examinees are used to identify the candidates in each state. When ties occur in the threshold score, more than 20 persons of that gender are invited in that state. In addition, each Chief State School Officer (CSSO) may nominate up to ten male and ten female candidates, residing in the CSSO's jurisdiction, based on their outstanding scholarship. Additionally, the program is partnering with several recognition organizations that will each nominate up to 10 candidates from their individual programs."[/quote]
