[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh? Nottingham, Williamsburg, Yorktown. Best in APS.[/quote] This is a pretty biased statement. As the county website points out, W-L and Yorktown are very similar in terms of test scores and other indicators of achievement - even more so when you balance those factors for race. Nottingham, while a fine school, does not have the top scores in the county. Right now I believe that goes to McKinley, again despite a higher FARMS rate and slightly more ethnic diversity than Nottingham. I haven't looked at Swanson/Williamsburg scores recently, but am guess it's the same thing. Fact of the matter is that above Rte 50 you really don't have any poor choices. Things vary around the margins. Yorktown and W-L are both highly regarded, very large public high schools. [/quote]
