[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you only look at test scores, you will wind up in a neighborhood with little diversity beyond what field of law people practice. So, although scores are important, you don't need "the best." [/quote] One thing is that ALL of the public schools in these areas are very diverse. "College Readiness" seems like a very good indicator. For Arlington, the following are listed for Arlington(http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/virginia/districts/arlington-county-public-schools/sort+college_readiness_index/sortdir+desc): Yorktown High (Google's Eric Schmidt went there, I believe) 60.3 — Washington-Lee High 55.8 _ Wakefield High 33.5 ---------------- For FX Cnty by way of comparison: 10 are above Yorktown in "College Readiness" http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/virginia/districts/fairfax-county-public-schools/sort+college_readiness_index/sortdir+desc [/quote]
