Yorktown is the least diverse high school in Arlington but it would have virtually no diversity if they didn’t split Hamm.

There are plenty of neighborhoods zoned for Hamm/Yorktown that are NOT in Rosslyn, FYI. Like Woodmont, Riverwood, Dover Crystal, Donaldson Run...

I was thinking that Rosslyn was the largest chunk that was split off from Hamm. My apologies if that’s not right.

The area north of hamm is walkable to hamm and zoned for Yorktown. I think roughly half the school goes to yt and the other half to wl.

Yes, it's relatively half and half, which is a good thing in my opinion. Better than having only a small portion of the school go to one HS and the vast majority to the other HS.
