There is a huge achievement gap at Kenmore.  How does that positively affect the perception of the higher-achieving kids towards the other kids at the school, assuming they aren't largely in different classes?  [/quote]

Hardly. This is so stupid. Do you think the high-achievers never venture out of the Kenmore bubble? They don't do outside activities and camps and sports, like high-achievers at other MSs? And most of the Kenmore kids are zoned W-L for HS, the ones who are not often transfer there through the IB program. It's not like they suddenly collapse and fail once they get to HS, because they never knew there were so many other high-achievers. GMAFB. [/quote]

Seriously.  There's a good number of high-achieving ATS kids at Kenmore, at least in the 7th grade.  Those kids know what that looks like.  Same for Barrett and Ashlawn.  [/quote]

Not really, and certainly not compared to Swanson, Williamsburg and, soon, Stratford.  It’s not a great environment. [/quote]

Depends what you're looking for. Strictly on an academic basis I admire Williamsburg. But it doesn't have enough diversity for me, and I've heard some students of color haven't been treated all that well. Definitely not saying all the kids there are like that, I know for a fact that's not true. But as a general environment, like Yorktown HS, I just wouldn't feel comfortable sending my kids there.
