[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of the Arlington magazine, they had 2013 college admissions info and it was pretty interesting. W-L kicked ass (with a few exceptions). Seemed like much better admissions rates than Yorktown or McLean. Is that because of the IB program perhaps? [/quote]

I noticed that too. With all the drivel going on on this board about Yorktown superiority over W-L and Wakefield. From a percentage points of reference Wakefield did better or equal to Yorktown. But W-L and McLean did equally as well. Washington and Lee = superior

This is what I keep saying on these Arlington school posts. I believe strongly that students can thrive at Wakefield. Yes, Wakefield has greater challenges than Yorktown and W-L (and McLean for that matter) in that it enrolls many more students from low-income families and from non-English speaking homes, but I have been really impressed by Wakefield students' successes.
