[quote=Anonymous]boy, this degenerated fast. We ended up buying about 1/2 mile away from Yorktown. I would have preferred Washington-lee - I worried about my kid (white, not rich) being surrounded by only white and rich kids at Yorktown. the world isn't like that. But we couldn't find a house we liked feeding into W-L; proximity to Metro meant that prices were higher around there and our price range was low for Arlington. I think your kid(s) will get a good education at either school, and probably at Wakefield too. We also looked at schools in Falls Church City and Fairfax. I think Yorktown and W-L rank with the top third or so of Fairfax schools and with George Mason HS; Wakefield scores are closer to the lower Fairfax schools, but that's demographics and not a reflection on the teaching. For me, I had to rule out a lot of the Fairfax schools because the commute to DC from those homes would have sucked. [/quote]
