[quote=Anonymous]We live in Arlington and are zoned for Yorktown but DD will likely be accepted to IB at WL. She is a strong student, not an athlete, likes things like band and model UN at our APS middle school. Yorktown is ranked higher on Great Schools and USNews, and our friends in FFX all think Yorktown is the more academic school in APS But word on the street from neighbors is that WL more academic and Yorktown is all about sports — so not sure what it’s like for a non sporty student like DD. WL seems to have better college placement at elite schools, but folks have been telling me it’s because it’s a much more diverse student body, more first gen students — more URM hooks than Yorktown rather than caliber of school. On top of this, WL is growing 200 students a year for the next 3 years as they fill that addition, so I wonder how that will change the character and function of the school? But everyone says if you want the best academics it’s WL hands down?[/quote]
