[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid wants to go to HYP or a top 5 SLAC, then look at the Big 5 privates because it won't happen at Yorktown. But if they'd be happy at UVA or W&M then Yorktown is fine school. There are some very good teachers, especially in the higher level/AP classes. If your kid is more nerdy - wants to do Model UN, quizbowl, etc, - then W&L or a top private is a better choice. If your kid is sporty, then Yorktown is the place to be - the athletes are the top of the social totem pole.[/quote] Langley is better for Model UN and McLean is better for Scholastic Bowl. W-L is good for IB, as are Marshall and George Mason. If sports were really important, Madison would probably be a better choice. Bottom line is that it’s not just privates that compare favorably with Yorktown.[/quote]
