[quote=Anonymous]Well, it looks like the W-L PTA raised $20K and spent $23K on programs for its kids in 2013-14. http://www.apsva.us/cms/lib2/VA01000586/Centricity/Domain/2422/Treasurer.s%20Report%20%2004.7.14.pdf Yorktown's PTA raised $37K and spent $37K in the same period. http://www.yhspta.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Yorktown-High-School-PTA-budget-2013-2014-revsd-8-25.pdf PTAs are not irrelevant at the high school level -- they raise money that is used on scholarships and teacher project donations. Yorktown gets more monetary support from its PTA, probably because its kids have higher SES. So I think it's important for high SES parents zoned for W-L not to be frightened away by talk like other posters on this board, because W-L needs those folks to stay. And they should -- as the test and college admissions results show, their kids do great at W-L. [/quote]
