[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for all the intel!! What are Williamsburg MS and Yorktown HS like? We are going out today to drive around. Appreciate you all![/quote]

Both excellent schools in my opinion. That pyramid has a reputation for being the most sports oriented in Arlington, however. But as with any public school, there are all types of kids.

Dorothy Hamm is the newest middle school and it’s in a recently renovated historic building. It’s not too far from Williamsburg and Swanson, the other middle schools. Arlington is not that big.

Yorktown HS has a strong AP program, but no IB. W-L HS has both AP and IB, but many of the IB students transfer into W-L from outside the W-L boundaries. It is a magnet program. W-L has long been the least sports oriented of the Arlington high schools and more academic and arts focused, in terms of school culture. But W-L is still competitive in sports and just won the district title in golf. So you can take these stereotypes with a grain of salt, but there is some truth to them.
