[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weird irrational fear of Wakefield is hopefully becoming a thing of the past. We can't afford it in this county. With the number of students swelling, it looks better and better.[/quote]

Why is it weird and irrational to avoid a school that has poor scores and almost never has a National Merit Semifinalist? Before any neighborhood is moved there, the burden should be on APS to demonstrate Wakefield can foster an atmosphere of achievement off a basketball court. [/quote]

With great teachers my kid can achieve anywhere.[/quote]

But other kids who have gone there haven't, so the teachers must not be so great.[/quote]

:roll: Wakefield students have gotten into top colleges. Stop trolling.[/quote]
