[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W-L is generally viewed as more diverse and academically focused than Yorktown. Yorktown is white, preppy, and academically rather average. [/quote] Spoken like a true WL-er. I agree WL is not just viewed as, but IS much more diverse than Yorktown. I disagree that it is "more" academically focused. Yorktown is very white and very wealthy, seems to have more kids with greater sense of "entitlement," but not sub-par to WL academically. WL just has the IB program and therefore students have access to more academic options.[/quote] IB is, on the whole, more academically rigorous than AP or DE (there are studies showing IB diplomates are more successful in college), and kids not zoned for W-L have to meet cretain standards to transfer in. So W-L is siphoning off some of the other schools' higher-achieving students[/quote]
