[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who went to a high school consistently ranked in the top 5 nationally, I will be sending my children to Wakefield without hesitation.  You can make statistics say anything you want; get to know the teachers and administrators, talk to parents and students who actually attend the school, and you would come to the same conclusion (if you ever muster up the courage to rough it and travel south of Route 50).[/quote]

My private high school was ranked #11 last year. My children will also be attending Wakefield in about 5 years. We are currently very happy at our S. Arl elementary school.

I would never send them to Yorktown.

I'm a teacher. [/quote]

What kind of teacher defiantly declares where she will not send a child? Not a very good one.

But I'll bite: Why on Earth would you NEVER send them to Yorktown? I can't wait to hear this explanation. I mean, I know the teachers and administrators there and know parents and students there, and it seems like a fantastic school. In all of your one-on-one interaction with these same people, what, specifically, has put you off? Two or three concrete anecdotes would be nice.[/quote]

Affordability?[/quote]

Yorktown is free. If s/he meant affordability s/he probably would've said "I would never buy a home in the Yorktown pyramid." I seems obvious that she was referencing the actual school (people) not location. [/quote]
