Might as well stack them by  F/R lunch rate. Seriously, this is stupid. Show me a poor school that is beating the odds and I will be impressed.[/quote]

W-L is 29% economically disadvantaged, 58% minority

Love the smack down.[/quote]

APS lets W-L but not Yorktown offer both AP and IB.

So W-L gets transfers from Yorktown and makes it to #10, while richer Yorktown doesn’t get transfers and isn’t ranked.  Slow clap.[/quote]

According to this past year’s transfer report, only 217 of W-L’s 2,161 students were IB transfers. Assuming all 217 came from Yorktown, which we know is not true, hardly accounts for W-L’s success.  W-L is a fabulous school and doesn’t need Yorktown transfers to make it so.[/quote]

You don't think having 10% of your students transfer in for a special academic program effects performance? Every school would like to have this. Almost by definition these students will be high achievers and certainly above average. It also means that Yorktown and Wakefield are losing these students.[/quote]
