[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd stick with Fairfax. Last year there almost 150 National Merit Semifinalists at TJ alone, and Langley, McLean, Marshall and Madison had more than 40 more. Yorktown and W-L combined had fewer than 15, and there weren't any at Wakefield. [/quote] Of course, there are many more students at Langley, McLean, Marshall, and Madison combined (~7600) than there are at Yorktown & W-L (~3800). 2012 National Merit Semifinalist rate at Langley, McLean, Marshall, and Madison, combined = 5.4 per thousand 2012 National Merit Semifinalist rate at Yorktown & W-L, combined = 3.9 per thousand But note these free & reduced lunch percentages: Langley 1.5% McLean 10% Marshall 16.8% Madison 8.6% Yorktown 13.4% W-L 29.8% Wakefield, with 48% of its students qualifying for free & reduced lunch, can't fairly be compared to schools serving predominantly middle class and wealthy families.[/quote]
