[quote=Anonymous]If you search in past threads, you will find that no one is specifically hyping up W-L. But people do agree that it is a good school. I double checked the SAT stats and the PP is right. W-L's scores declined last year, while Yorktown's remained stable.  W-L was ranked 9 in nova according to the 2010 SAT scores, but dropped last year.

Arlington is an attractive place to buy, because of at least two solid high schools and their strong feeder schools, and there are many people on this forum that support S Arlington schools as well. No one is fooling themselves into thinking that W-L is like Yorktown, which at close to 70% white is one of the least diverse and most uniformly affluent schools in the DC area. So naturally it would have the better reputation. Few dwell on those facts however, and are perfectly happy with the schools their kids attend or will attend. There are no bad schools in N Arlington.

On this forum there are lots of Arlington boosters, but few hype up particular schools. And many are aware of the differences between them.  [/quote]
