[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the W-L bashers don't live in or understand Arlington. W-L has a great reputation, and most of the school overcrowding is due to all the public school families moving into Lyon Village, Tara, Maywood, Woodmont, Bluemont, etc. Don't believe the trolls that say most families in the W-L HS district go private. That is completely false.

The poster who said W-L is just "slightly better that Wakeflield" doesn't know what she is talking about. The level of parental involvement at W-L is on a completely different level. Wakefield also has many more disciplinary issues, due to a larger low-income population. And test scores and the graduation rates are much higher at W-L.

The SAT score for Wakefield is among the lowest in Northern Va. W-L's scores are behind Yorktown's but respectably high compared to Farifax County schools. Didn't W-L have the most National Merit Finalists in Arlington last year. There are a ton of really smart kids at that school. [/quote]

Nice, you bash Wakefield. Anyways the only good repuation WL has is with parent's who are zoned in WL. No one else cares or classifies it as great outside of Arlington.[/quote]

Ha!. You you remind me of a certain "helpful" poster on this forum. Every now and then when one someone starts a thread inquiring about houses in the W-L district, some jerk warns the OP that the school is horrible and if you care about the value of your house the only desirable Arlington neighborhoods are north of Lee Highway, but not the ones zoned to W-L. Truth is families are interested in the W-L district for the neighborhoods and schools which have a great reputation. [/quote]

Families will pick WL to save money or when they are priced out of Yorktown. [/quote]

Quite the opposite.  Families that can't afford the house size they want move out of Lyon Village.  Price per square footage is infinitely higher close-in Clarendon.[/quote]
