You can safely ignore greatschools.org. It isn't a good barometer of anything. No one takes it seriously.[/quote]

Of course they do.  People at schools with average test scores dismiss GS because they don't like seeing it reduced to a numerical rating.

Poster who said Fairfax schools are typically 9s and 10s is wrong.  Yorktown is always higher than most schools there. [/quote]

Not the PP but well-regarded FCPS high schools like Oakton High School, Woodson, Madison, and Langley all have a greatschools.org rating of 9. There are others in FCPS that aren't as highly rated but it seems that the best of FCPS outranks the best of Arlington, at least according to the test scores used by greatschools.org. Arlington itself still popular due to shorter commute into DC.[/quote]
