[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true that DCPS doesn't have the capacity of MoCo to nurture talent. Not even close. But there are still many top students in DC public schools, the type who would have been on the GT track at MoCo from a young age, who eventually make their way to Walls each year. These students are better than the program. [/quote] I’m a university professor in the region, and the Walls students I’ve had- here, at my previous job, and in grad school when I was teaching- were indistinguishable from other prep school products in a good way. One of my stops was an application only program- we only got juniors who maintained a certain GPA and had the prerequisites- so I think generally speaking if your kids are at Walls they’ll be fine. Other schools never rose to my attention and haven’t yet, except one Dunbar student who was so bad it has become a thing of legend in the department. [/quote]
