[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm starting to think Wakefield is the only school in APS worth considering. Yorktown sounds tough to navigate socially and the W-L helicopter parents gleefully dumping on the school sound petty and jealous.  Are there ANY places in Arlington where normal people who just let their kids go to school live?

I am in the Yorktown district, my kids attend Wakefield, I like the social scene there better. It has the same curriculum and great teachers and an involve principal. It is up to them what they make of it.  I also like W-L, the kids there look content to me too. Why worry about Yorktown, let those who wants it have it. In the next year or two both Wakefield and W-L will be overcrowded. Yorktown either will be at capacity or slightly under.  You have to ask yourself why given all the talk about it being the best pyramid in APS. A slightly higher test score doesn't give the full picture. Why send your kid someplace that is unfriendly everyday for 4 years. Their childhood is too short for that. [/quote]
