[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. Allowing students w/o the comforts of privilege access to IB and a core set of AP courses benefits both W-L and APS in its mission. Wakefield has a bespoke curriculum that helps in a similar fashion. Yorktown is different— it has an affluent in-bounds student body, and therefore doesn’t need any unique program. [/quote]

I don't find that convincing at all.  APS plays favorites, everyone knows it, and it means the top high school punches below its weight, the favored one ends up overcrowded, and the poorest one ends up ignored. [/quote]

Please explain what you mean by “the top high school punches below its weight” and why you think Yorktown is the top high school.  And yes, I’m serious.[/quote]

Yes. I’d like their explanation too.

Somewhat facetiously, I wonder if the poster who is agitated about IB splurged on a 4.5 mil dollar house in the Yorktown district instead of a lowly 2.5 mill dollar house in a W-L zoned neighborhood. With the lower quality custom builds, it’s just unfathomable that W-L could have decent academic stats that come close to Yorktown’s.

But I do sense the poster is the one who often complains about how Yorktown should have much better academic scores and college stats and that W-L is to blame. [/quote]
