[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington schools don't have the great Greatschools numbers, but for the standardized tests that matter, the AP and IB exam scores, and SAT tests, Yorktown and W-L are above average. Wakefield lags in AP scores but is still above the state average. Seriously all three high schools are good. [/quote] Exactly. W-L has a 59% minority population; 40% white, btw. Do a pull-out on kids of same socioeconomic factors with those at Yorktown, McLean, BCCC, etc and you will find test scores are identical if not higher at W-L. I would not want my kid competing for VA UNiversity spots with a population of 95% clones. The colleges have quotas.[/quote] I think you have to get out of NOVA to get any edge in VA University Admissions.[/quote]
