Why should students at the only high school that reflects the demographics of the county move to another high school? Especially when that high school is very diverse and high performing? Isn't the point that that model is working? What purpose would this serve?[/quote]

Yet another post that shows that the true motives of the student and his supporters are to try and elevate W-L's status (just right) over Yorktown (too white) and Wakefield (too brown).

I have to say it's been well played, but I also have no doubt that the motives are not really so laudable. The W-L crowd occupies a uniquely sanctimonious spot in the county, alternating between talking up their "diversity" and talking up their real estate values.[/quote]

A high school junior claims to care about balancing school populations across the county, but he's really concerned about real estate values?

I can't get over how hostile you are to a teenager. Why are you so quick to insult him? What did he ever do to you? [/quote]

Don't respond the this poster. This is a crazy troll who is either a YHS parent or a real estate speculator with homes in the YHS zone who can't stand the idea that W-L is now the most sought-after school. I am not nor will I be a W-L parent. But everyone in my social circle, both those inbounds for Wakefield and those inbounds for Yorktown, would prefer W-L, and it's not for the IB per se. It's for the academic rigor AND diversity that W-L offers. [/quote]
