[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yorktown high school ranked #585 in US News. I grew up in an area that wasn’t as high cost but my high school was ranked under 200. It’s depressing to pay this much for substandard schools.

US News says they rate over 24,000 high schools. So being #585 puts it in the top 2.5% of all high schools in the country. I can live with that. And, I would guess that there's not really any substantive difference between most schools within hundreds of each other in the rankings. As a PP said the top schools are generally gifted magnet schools. Below that are the mostly indistinguishable affluent neighborhood high schools.[/quote]

Your standards are pretty low. Arlington is approximately the 5th richest county in the country (and remember that includes south arlington which pulls the average down). Having your best high school ranked 585 for such an affluent area definitely makes arlington an outlier in a bad way. [/quote]

You like to come on these boards and criticize Arlington - where do you live? And why? Why is it better? You must still be unhappy because you are trolling anything and all Arlington. [/quote]

Sorry if an honest debate is upsetting to you. I get it, when you don’t have a substantive response, just attack the commenter. The OP asked a question presumably to hear different viewpoints. [/quote]

Pot calling kettle black. You give a viewpoint with no solutions or suggestions. Just like to criticize. Sorry you got upset[/quote]
