[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington-Lee is an awesome school.  We tried to find a good SFH feeding into it and couldn't, so we ended up in Yorktown boundary, further from metro rail.  I'd send my kid to W-L in a minute.  The people I know who have kids set to go there are happy about it.  Many of them deliberately chose it - they weren't priced out of Yorktown.

W-L is more diverse than Yorktown, which can scare some people.  I really don't get that.  The 2009 numbers I have handy say that 95.1% of yorktown students graduated and 91.2% of W-L students graduated.  96% of Yorktown kids went on to college vs. 91% of W-L kids.  The last Arlington magazine survey I read had more W-L (and Wakefield) kids going on to elite schools than Yorktown did.  (HBW beat us too.)

In my opinion, there is absolutely no reason to avoid Washington-Lee or any of its feeder schools.  [/quote]

Langley grad that chose W-L for her own kids.  Great school in an urban environment with diversity.

Lost 10 bids on a million+ home prior to getting one. Lots of people very happy with W-L.[/quote]
