You've got time for HS- I wouldn't worry about that now. It's not a popular sentiment on these boards but there isn't much difference between W-L and Wakefield. That's probably offensive to Lyon Village homeowners, but it's the truth. Also, the lines will be redrawn in the coming years. Homes currently zoned W-L will be moved to Wakefield. Find out before you buy. Yorktown is mostly wealthy and white. You'll pay a premium for that. Many people don't see that as a plus as that is not the world we live in. YMMV.

I don't understand the dig at Yorktown here.  It's at least 35% minority, isn't it? So why try to portray it as lily white when it's not.  I see a lot of W-L and Wakefield parents try to claim Yorktown isn't "the world we live in," and then boast about how their kids are heading off to schools that are less diverse than Yorktown.

Buy where you can afford and do your due diligence on the schools, but recognize that the misinformation comes from both directions around here.  [/quote]
