[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. This was a mixed bag of responses! I should have said which neighborhood school, since this is really a question about where to look for housing. We can decide whether to apply for HB Woodlawn or not later. (Although I definitely appreciate that advice.) So of the neighborhood schools, which one(s) are best or good for her?[/quote]

The lottery of HBW is a ridiculous long shot, so set that aside. I would actually aim for Williamsburg and Yorktown.  They are not academic focused, because by and large it’s wealthy families who already have a path for their child and it doesn’t depend on grades. They are intense about sports though. But if your kid stays away from lacrosse and such it’s pretty chill. [/quote]

Wow.  Somebody is super petty and jealous.  [/quote]

What?  No jealousy here, we go to Yorktown. The more academic students do IB at WL so it’s a natural pressure valve on academic competition. I mean there have been whole threads about how success in career often doesn’t correlate to grades or academic pedigree, why would it be surprising to embrace that if you are a family of means.

If you can afford to live in a school district as expensive as Yorktown and hate it so much, why on earth are you still there?  Why not move to a district more to your liking?  So odd.

Are your kids social misfits at Yorktown?  Are they not achieving as well as you’d hoped.  Do you have less money than most other Yorktown families?

What makes you so bitter about your kids’ high school?   [/quote]
