[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some parents have a vested interest in knocking down Wakefield because they paid A LOT more money for their homes than necessary. Need to preserve their investment, after all.

Smart kids, with smart, involved parents, will gravitate toward similarly-focused peers, regardless of the name of their school.[/quote]

The opposite is more likely.  People tried to save money by buying in an area assigned to a bad school, and now they want others to bail them out, so they try to make Wakefield sound better than it is by exaggerating the number of students in a graduating class headed off to top schools.  Yorktown and W-L consistently deliver better results.

Who is asking anyone to "bail them out"? People who bought in S. Arlington are defending it.

If Yorktown and W-L are inherently so much better, why spend so much time tearing down a non-consequential school?

And OP, if you look at APS' capacity maps, any elementary mapped to Kenmore is probably going to end up at Wakefield in a couple of years, esp if it is mapped to W-L now. W-L is already out of room and Wakefield still has lots of capacity. [b]Areas just north of Route 50 will probably end up shifted to S. Arlington middle and high schools within 5 years.[/b][/quote]

+1. I can't see any other solution.[/quote]
