[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Walls does not take huge numbers of students from Basis, Latin, or DCI — really any school other than Deal (and that is probably a function of class size). [b]Not sure that these schools help that much with applying out for high school either. [/b]So there are lots of 8th grade charter school families with kids in the top half with good grades who gripe about this every year on dcum.[/quote] There are always a handful of kids from these schools who do choose Walls, but there isn't a huge upside anymore -- the college outcomes at BASIS, Latin and DCI aren't that different than Walls. So people are as desperate to go (we are at one of those charter and my kids already said he wants to stay through 12th). Whereas for kids from DCPS middle schools with terrible high schools, Walls and Banneker are an absolute lifeline. [/quote]
