Lol, I mention I'm a Walls parent and people, I have found, make their own assumptions. It's not a brag to say, after you ask, what high school my kid goes to. But I have found that people have very predictable reactions after I say it (Oh Wow!)

Fortunately, Walls parents are extremely humble.

LOL....Needed this laugh today

Get over yourself, OP. Not always about you!

Bragging is NOT the same as feeling proud and positive.

Where's the line between "feeling proud and positive" and bragging? By definition it is when it becomes "excessive". When one is as insecure as you and OP (assuming not same person) seem to be, anyone saying anything nice about something they have probably sounds like "bragging".

* any more

I don't know people who brag anymore about Walls anymore than people who brag about how their kid is excelling at JR's APs or GDS's [whatever]. People like to talk about their kid achievements.

I’ve never heard a person brag about Walls. Usually I hear them say it’s worse than expected. You need to be around new people OP.

I bet half of these posts are from the same teenager.

They should come to Arlington and hang out with hb Woodlawn. How do you get into walls? Is it lottery or magnet?

LOL!!!

Yea, I don’t get why the family is bragging at all.

Because WALLS is the best school in America and the HYP of all high schools.

The lack of humility, lack of sensitivity to the audience is narcissistic…. Is your friend one? And the question is that this bragging happens in front of whom: Folks with either children in upper tier private schools or kids in other DC public schools? Those who brag are ego driven and hierarchical in the way they perceive their world..it has nothing to do with Walls. It’s the people.

So tired of my friend whose kid is at WALLs acting like it is an Ivy school.......
