[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yorktown vs Whitman SAT data for those that don’t want to do the research and comb through data.

[b]Yorktown[/b]
Asian = 1786
Black = 1506
Hispanic = 1610
White = 1788

[b]Whitman[/b]
Asian = 1901
Black = 1561
Hispanic = 1827
White = 1917

Whitman like Yorktown is within the Beltway and close to DC. Housing prices are demographics are similar.[/quote]

I was looking at W-L data since that is more popular than YHS. It’s also 34% FARMS. How about Whitman?

[b]W-L[/b]
Asian 1582 
Black 1523
Hispanic 1442
White 1856

Did you find the breakdown by FARM vs non-FARM scores?

There are unique populations in Arlington that make even comparing by “race” less meaningful.

SES would make more sense.

Care to explain why the working and LMC white kids in Einstein are scoring 1804 then and outperforming the comparatively well off white kids in Yorktown? The average SFH teardown in Yorktown and W-L cost more than the average new build in the Einstein district, which is 40% FARMs.

This house would be double the cost in North Arlington. You would be in a bidding war for a 2br shack with black mold for this price around Yorktown.

RE: Bethesda vs Arlington schools. Look at the SAT score data and see whether Yorktown, W-L, and Wakefield stack up well against Walter Johnson, BCC, and Whitman. [/quote]

The Yorktown score seems off. It’s even lower than the W-L score.

Many an anomaly that year (2016)?

Anyway, looking at SAT scores is just looking at SES.
