[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I always thought WL was preferable to Yorktown.  I'd still prefer my kid goes to WL, even if WL is going to be [/b]bigger.  WL has a significantly higher minority population and you don't hear as much about drug problems.  I have always liked the WL buildings and think the school has a nice vibe.  My kid is serious about sports and doesn't really want to leave her friends, so HB and Tech would not be a good fit.  Maybe Wakefield would also work; I don't hear much about drugs there, either.  (But we are zoned close to border between Yorktown and WL, so Wakefield isn't an option.)[/quote]

This seems to be the common preference. Which is why WL is getting bigger. Parents pitch a fit about being zoned away from WL to either of the other schools. [/quote]

Right and if parents zoned WL don’t like the large size, they can always transfer to Yorktown or Wakefield [/quote]

No, that's not true. There are limited transfer seats at Wakefield for the AP Network program; but there is no program transfer route to Yorktown.  As long as those schools are above capacity, there will be no open transfers available.  [/quote]

Aren’t they moving a ton of kids to the Ed center which will make other schools under capacity [/quote]
