[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no additional cafeteria, but the annex (the space that added the 600 seats and used to be admin) has a lot of general/flex space. My kid ate there whenever the weather was bad and they couldn't eat outside. You really only need to go in the cafeteria if you are buying lunch. Kids eat outside, in the annex, the courtyard, and anywhere on the 1st floor of the main building. My kids loved the flexibility. There is a new weight room in the annex but no additional field space. Still, as one poster pointed out, it's easier to make the teams at WL than Yorktown. Yorktown tends to have more kids that played travel sports and their teams are typically better than WL. WL has more diversity, both SES and race, than Yorktown.

Sounds like you like the expansion.  You won’t be as happy when W-L has all the additional kids and it’s harder for kids to make teams or fill positions than at Yorktown. [/quote]

Well kid just graduated so I really don’t care. [/quote]

Actually, I am the previous poster whose kid is happy with the expansion and my kid still has a couple more years there. Yeah, it's not great being so big and making the sports teams/participating in clubs may become more of an issue as the seats are filled,  although I'd be surprised if the teams become as competitive to make as Yorktown. My kid plays a travel sport and has many teammates who go to Yorktown so i can see the difference. I just wanted to give a different perspective that so far I think the expansion has been handled well and the space in the annex is really nice and well thought out.[/quote]
