I don't know much about Yorktown but have friends with kids there and have heard no complaints. [b]It is true, however, that the really high achieving kids are skimmed off to go to the W-L IB program so that might be an issue for a more academic/nerdy kid.[/b][/quote]

No.  This is not true.  High achieving kids in in the YHS pyramid do go to YHS.  That's nonsense.

There is a lot of weird info.  Your kid is not more likely to get bullied at one school vs. the other.  The kids who are bullies YHS also exist at WL.  Would your kid like IB?  Would they like a bigger school?  If so, pick WL.  If not, go YHS.[/quote]

Well there seem to be more Ivy league and elite college acceptances from WL than YHS.

I would hope so.  They have more kids.  The outlier is HB.[/quote]

Well, yeah if we could get in HB, that would be great. But it’s a “lottery”[/quote]
