[quote=Anonymous]I don't know much about Oakridge, but know a little about Gunston and Wakefield. Both schools have higher shares of students from poor families than other Arlington middle and high schools (except possibly Kenmore?). Because test scores are highly correlated with family income, test scores at the three schools are correspondingly lower. That said, both schools offer opportunities for students to excel, as evidenced by the MIT acceptance mentioned above. (FTR, W-L did have 2 acceptances to MIT as well. Yorktown and McLean had 15 applicants to MIT between them and 0 acceptances. HBW had no applicants to MIT.) Wakefield also had 8 (out of 28) acceptances to UVA. Our neighbor's DC attended Gunston's Spanish immersion program and had a very good experience there.[/quote]
