[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your premise is wrong.  North Arlington middle and high schools are easily on par with the best of what Fairfax has to offer.  [/quote]
Yorktown is not as good as at least: Langley, McLean, Oakton, Woodson, Madison, Marshall, and Chantilly. [/quote]

DP.  PP probably based this on US News rankings.  Those schools and also West Springfield in Fairfax are all rated higher than Yorktown. [/quote]

And those rankings change every year. [/quote]
Take your pick: SAT scores, US News, national merit semi finalists, college placement. Consistently year after year. [/quote]

I just took a look at the Niche rankings.  There are 320 neighborhood/non-magnet high schools in Virginia.  All of the Fairfax County schools listed above except for Marshall are in Niche’s top 10.  Yorktown is 11th, and Washington-Liberty is 14th.  (Marshall is in the 20s, while another Fairfax school, West Springfield, isn’t listed above but ranks 15th.)

Niche ranks all of these schools as A+ overall and A+ for college prep.

But hey, if you think it makes sense to sell your house in Arlington and rip your 5th grader away from his friends just so he can attend the 8th best high school in the state out of 320 instead of the 11th, have at it.  [/quote]
