[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a 'mid-pack/bottom tier' Fairfax Co HS and got the same education as my travel teammates at Langley, McLean, etc.  In fact, many were classmates in college.

W-L consistently turns out stellar students.  A comparison along demographics shows scores to be near identical to all top-rated schools in the area.

The recent neighborhood grads and Seniors at W-L have gone on top universities around the country.  It is idiotic to even try and say it is a 'poor' school.

We sought out W-L for some variety for our kids.  We like the different SES and demographics.  My kids have had very diverse classmates at all levels of schooling in our neighborhood and their test scores are through the roof.

All of this is irrelevant to OP, btw, that is looking to buy in a different pyramid so I don't know how this became yet another 'trash WL' thread.[/quote]

It's my fault that it became another trash W-L thread.  In a prior post, I was explaining why I think this part of North Arlington hits enough "sweet spots" to be a great choice, even if it may not necessarily be the best with respect to individual factors such as walkability and schools.  In other words, why not look at the total package?

Another poster jumped on this to claim that families don't care walkability and APS can't hold a candle to FCPS.  I'm pretty sure it's one of the Marshall posters, since he/she made a big point of emphasizing that FCPS, and not APS, has IB and STEM Academies (i.e., what Marshall offers).

My bad.  Clearly the only correct response was to tell the OP she's making a huge mistake by considering North Arlington/Yorktown HS and that the Marshall HS district is always the best choice.  Boosters gonna boost, you know.

So if anyone points out the short comings of W-L it is immediately crazy? I don't understand you people this the perception of most people and it is backed by statistics and rankings. BTW I am in McLean not Marshall.[/quote]

I don't believe you have a handle on the perception of "most people," nor do I believe that you don't have some connection to Marshall.  [/quote]
