[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wakefield, according to Niche's information on SAT, ACT, and graduation rate, is most similar to Annandale and West Potomac High School. It has higher scores than Stuart, Lee, Edison, Falls Chuch, and Mount Vernon. It would not  be in the bottom 5% of Fairfax County's schools.[/quote]

Niche somehow manages to be even less of an authority on anything than GSs (consider that their rankings take into account such things as sports, "culture and diversity," clubs and self reported parent/student surveys) and "Falls Chuch" is not FCPS.  So yes-- maybe Yorktown has better Sports teams than than Lee. But more importantly, in terms of SAT scores, Yorktown is second to last among all schools is Northern VA-- only Mt. Vernon is worse. So yeah-- bottom 5%.  West Potomac was 140 points higher and Annandale was 90 points higher. So no-- Wakefield is not "most like these schools."  (And BTW-- both of these schools are considered to be relatively weak within FCPS.  Sending a kid to Annandale is not generally considered to be a great thing.

Also-- do you prefer the 7-1 shift or the 2-8 shift for your high school student?[/quote]
