[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White UMC studnets have the best chance of getting in.[/quote] Not true any more.[/quote] It's not true anymore because the bar is higher for all students. They didn't need a 4.0 to qualify in the past. Now they do.[/quote] Last GPA cut-off was 3.86.[/quote] Serious question, is getting a 3.8 in a DCPS middle school really that difficult? You can retake ever test and hand in assignments late. [/quote] True enough. Over 30% of Walls 9th graders are below grade level in math. To get accepted to Walls, these kids presumably received straight As in 7th grade math even though they were/are below grade level. So, yes, Walls' vaunted GPA cut-off means that almost a third of the kids admitted to the school are not even meeting DCPS' minimal expectations for proficiency.[/quote] Where are you getting this 30% metric from and do you have a kid at the school?[/quote]
