[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mostly Wakefield students looking for a different environment and didn’t get into IB or HB.

More boys than girls, looking to go into trades [/quote]

Does it have more of a trade school or college prep feel?  We are not looking for a trade school.  Our child is a very strong and highly motivated student.  Will they receive a stronger education at WL or Arlington Tech?  I assume the school offers advanced and AP courses for those students who are interested?  Are there any opportunities to visit the school at this stage?[/quote]

Watch the virtual videos.  There are no AP classes at Arlington Tech; it is a Dual Enrollment program.

So basically you can complete half an AA degree before high school.  This seems just like a vocational school.[/quote]

No. A number of seniors earned full Associates degrees last year. It’s not just a voke school.[/quote]

+1 It is probably more appealing to kids to expect to go to a VA state school since the DE classes will all transfer. It's not vocational. The one kid I know who goes there got into UVA ED.[/quote]
