[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering either Yorktown HS or private school for our children and would love some candid feedback from those with experience at Yorktown.  And, even better if some parents have experience with both Yorktown and private high schools.  We love the idea of public school and never thought we'd consider private, but the growing class size is concerning.   (incoming class of 9th graders predicted to be 660 kids)[/quote

[b]Private, full-stop.  We are stuck at Yorktown because my child did not get into private school.  It has been even worse than Williamsburg, which I didn't think was possible[/b].[/quote]

+1 When I talk to people in person they tell a very different story about the Arlington high schools (kids currently in APS HS) than people on this board.

[b]I know so many kids heading to private HS next Fall.[/b][/quote]

LOL.  Right.  That's why the schools are overcrowded -- nobody's going to them!

Cut me a break.

Unless they applied catholic they have no idea yet if they are going to private and won't until tomorrow....

They are over-crowded, but [b]out of the 20 HS age kids in a 3 block radius in my Arlington neighborhood.  15 are in private/or going for 9th.[/b]

It is neighborhood dependent.  We are N. Arl- WL zoned.[/quote][/quote]

What did you do, go door to door and take a census?  You have no idea.[/quote]
