[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a rising 10th and senior there. It's big, but my kids really like it. They don't complain about crowding except if you want a locker, it's far away. They both play sports and neither are college recruit material. My kids have engaged teachers, for the most part, and get their first choice of classes unless there is a scheduling conflict. Not sure what else to say. We feel fortunate to have our kids there.[/quote]

+1. My DD just graduated and loved it there. She never complained about the size at all. The only time it may be an issue is when your kid is trying to make a sports team - there are only so many slots available, but that’s the issue with all the high schools in this area.

There are differences between WL and Yorktown, but size is usually not the one people focus on. [/quote]

OP is confused. WL is only 2300 and in fact is smaller than Wakefield.

The plan is to move students from Wakefield to address overcrowding their, until WL is 2700 or so and Wakefield is at 2100 — both schools at their capacity.

So no one can speak to how a large WL will operate because it only has the added seats but not the butts for those seats.

Im sure it will be immaterial, whether 2100 or 2700, it’s a big school. I think they did add a second cafeteria, right?[/quote]

According to your link, W&L has more kids than Wakefield (2381 vs 2333). [/quote]

Oh yeah 50 students. Doesn’t matter they are moving 400 Wakefield students to WL[/quote]
